YAB Growing Gardens Project: June 12th, 2010

The 11 Youth Advisory Board Members spent several months planning a service project for Global Youth Services Day, which focused on composting and recylcing. The students were able to partner with a nonprofit in Boulder, CO called "Growing Gardens." During the project they learned about creating a composting pile at home or school and then were able to go into the gardens, collect the "greens" and the "browns" to add to the compost, and build their own pile, which the organization will use to fertilize it's gardens this coming Fall. Congratulations Youth Advisory Board on an awesome project!
