Urban Farming, a Bit Closer to the Sun

We may not have a roof garden, but our courtyard will be just as exciting when we start growing their own vegetables!

Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women - Summer Courtyard Project

This summer, the Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women, located in downtown Brooklyn New York will embark on an exciting journey to green its courtyard while teaching its students about ecology, energy, and our environment.

We will transform the school's courtyard into a usable, educational space that provides leadership opportunities for students and engages the community in a meaningful way.

We will empower students to make personal choices based on the framework of sustainability and environmental literacy.

We will nurture a group of students, faculty, and staff who will help this project grow as a model for other schools.

If you're interested in participating or joining us on this journey, contact us-
