City Growers is a small nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, New York, focused on connecting urban communities with agriculture, food, and environmental topics through farm-based education. It delivers hands-on, experiential programs for young people to build environmental and food literacy in urban settings. The organization seeks to foster a relationship with the natural world, celebrate thoughtfully grown food, and support a vision of a greener, healthier New York City. Targeted at urban youth, including elementary and middle school students, its programs include an urban agriculture camp anchored at PS 20 in Brooklyn. It has pursued partnerships to extend its reach, such as a fall 2017 initiative in Long Island City. This aligns City Growers with broader efforts to promote health and sustainability through education and community engagement.
