About
A tiered, paid apprenticeship at Brooklyn Botanic Garden where teens learn about urban agriculture and the environment while working in the garden. Apprentices make a nine-month commitment (March to November), meeting once or twice a week in spring and fall and four days a week in summer, and can advance through four tiers — eventually to paid staff.
Who can apply
Students in grades 9–11.
Open to teens in grades 9-11 (Tier 1 open to 8th-9th graders), who commit to the nine-month program. Apprentices earn a monetary award that grows by tier (recently $600-$800) and can advance to paid staff.
