REFLECTIONS FROM YOUTH PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

  • "This was my first job and now I know public speaking, how to care for the land, and even more about myself. I also learned how to be a leader and better ways to communicate.”

    — Jessica, Crew Worker '25

  • "Before working at Highwater Farm, I had no interest in farming. Working here pulled me out of my comfort zone. I was very shy and surrounded by new people and a new community. Now Highwater Farm is a community that I care deeply about. "

    — Yami, Crew Worker '25

  • “I learned that you have to take risks and challenges to actually learn who your true self is.”

    – Yesenia, Former Youth Crew Leader

  • "I learned there’s a lot of hard work going into everything that we do and some people don’t know that. But it’s valuable for other people so you should always try new things and get out of your comfort zone."

    – Divia, Former Youth Crew Worker

  • “It just feels better to eat something you've grown. You know what effort was put into it and realize that you helped make this.”

    — Sora, Former Youth Crew Worker
