Meet Zoey!
Zoey is part of our Agriculture Program with Thoughts, where she’s been gaining hands-on experience in food production, while also building confidence, leadership skills, and a deeper connection to her community.
Here’s what Zoey has to say about her experience:
“This program has been an amazing experience for me. Being outside all day and learning about gardening was exactly what I dreamed of doing. I can honestly say, this program has been rejuvenating. I’ve learned so much throughout this program about not only myself as a gardener, but also as a leader. To be able to have hands-on learning, it has made me more comfortable sharing my knowledge with others in the program, as I am able to get in with them and show them the tricks and tips I've learned by doing. After experiencing the feeling of growing/nurturing/and tending to the foods we grow and eat, as well as meeting so many people who garden, it has been amazing to connect and bond with a community that is so passionate about what they do. I feel truly inspired from this program, and cannot wait to see the opportunities that will open for me because of a program like this.”
Zoey’s position is supported through Nature Canada's Work to Grow Program, helping provide young people with opportunities to build skills, gain valuable work experience, and explore their interests.
We’re so proud to have Zoey as part of the team!
