AFC’s youth program engage in peer-led activities that aid in the development of career, leadership, advocacy, organizing, and wellness skills. This training takes place in the kitchen, garden, classroom, and even in the music studio. AFC’s youth are paid for their participation in the YTOP program as they learn farming, culinary, and entrepreneurial skills while increasing their positive social connections and developing their emotional well-being.
