The Program Manager is responsible for tracking youth progress and outcomes in collaboration with other program leaders in the Urban Agriculture department and as a direct leader of enrichment and work-readiness programs working alongside youth and young adults in the CEC network of gardens, including an 8,600 square foot intensive rooftop garden, an environmental education garden, an indoor hydroponics operation, and a 1.75 acre urban farm with hoop houses, annual vegetables, perennials, fruit trees, and more.
