Urban Roots is an organization in St. Paul whose goal is to nurture and empower young people via environment, healthy lifestyle, and community. Urban Roots has provided paid internships to youth on Saint Paul’s East Side since 1997. Youth interns gain leadership, entrepreneurial, and life skills through the programs like Market Garden, Conservation, and Cook Fresh programs. Market garden program: Interns from the Market Garden plant, maintain, and harvest small-scale food production in the urban gardens. Cook Fresh program: Interns learn about the seasonal foods grown and how to prepare them fresh in the garden. Conservation program: Interns in conservation work to restore green places and connect the community to its natural resources. Every year, 60 young interns, aged 14 to 18, take part in this progressive, tiered programming, which allows them to engage with one another and the world around them.

I learned through the program that engaging young people with nutritious eating has several benefits, including the creation of an informed community that can spread knowledge and provide youngsters with opportunities to find work that promote a healthy lifestyle. I believe that every young person should have the opportunity to participate in a program like this since it allows them to meet new people and experience new activities to things they are scared to try.

This program has a positive influence on adolescents by assisting them in understanding how living a healthy lifestyle may improve their lives by altering their behaviors, which can have a long-term impact on their health and help them prevent numerous ailments in the future. This is all about helping young people to keep their health and to encourage the preservation of the environment, agriculture, and eat organic food to achieve a healthy life.

Since 1997, The heart of Urban Roots is our paid youth internship program. Each year, 60 youth, ages 14-21, from Saint Paul’s East Side are employed in our three program areas: Market Garden, Conservation, and Cook Fresh. During the summer these internships provide youth with 8-24 hours/week of paid job experience and training, during the school year, youth meet twice a week after school and are often involved in events on the weekends. Our progressive program model engages youth in career exploration, entrepreneurial ventures, 21st Century job skills, healthy living, community engagement, self-discovery, and more!
