We are excited to announce that the *Youth Grow Summit *will be held

University* in *Ithaca, NY* from *June 28-30, 2011.  *All high-school aged
youth (14-18 yrs old) in New York State who are interested in creating a
just and sustainable food system are invited to attend.



The *Youth Grow Summit* will be an inspiring and empowering 3-day gathering
focused on fostering *youth leadership in the food system*. Our goal is to
bring youth from across New York State together to share skills and
experience, and to inspire one another around growing food and creating
healthy communities. Workshops topics will include youth leadership skills,
local farming, food justice, youth entrepreneurship, seasonal cooking,
school food and more!

together!
