Water Sentinels is sponsoring a tour of Growing Power in Milwaukee, a nationally acclaimed model for urban solutions for local food and jobs combines job training, youth of color, urban agriculture and more. Growing Power will inspire you! We will tour the Silver Spring Drive Urban farm that includes greenhouses, aquaculture, goats and chickens.
Growing Power is a national nonprofit organization and land trust supporting people from diverse backgrounds, and the environments in which they live, by helping to provide equal access to healthy, high-quality, safe and affordable food for people in all communities. Growing Power implements this mission by providing hands-on training, on-the-ground demonstration, outreach and technical assistance through the development of Community Food Systems that help people grow, process, market and distribute food in a sustainable manner.
