Urban Youth HarvestAfter two smaller scale ventures, PUEBLO launched an expanded version of the Urban Youth Harvest program in 2009. Working with Cycles of Change, Oakland's youth biked their way to harvest excess produce from Oakland's back yards, providing this delicious and nutritious bounty to Oakland's low income seniors who lack access to healthy produce.

Urban Youth Harvest Graduation Day 
After eight weeks of learning how to fix bikes, ride bikes, harvest locally produced fruits, vegetables and herbs, we celebrated our interns' successful completion of the Urban Youth Harvest Program, in conjunction with Cycles of Change at a picnic on August 22nd at Poplar Park. Our students learned valuable skills, promoted their own fitness, contributed fresh, local produce to our low income senior citizens, and upgraded their academic and job-readiness skills.
Check out our Urban Youth Harvest Photos!
Urban Youth Harvest Staff took almost 100 photos of the students engaged in activities ranging from fixing bikes, to riding bikes, to harvesting fresh fruit, to landscaping and learning how to start their own business. They were honored by a graduation picnic where they did a good bit of the barbecuing at Poplar Park.
