In
addition to the permanent garden staff, The Edible Schoolyard garden employs
two Bay Area Youth Agency Consortium
(BAYAC) Americorps members each school year. The Americorps members serve
as garden teachers and youth mentors. When not working with the students,
they care for the garden by pruning, propagating plants, composting, and
watering. BAYAC is an Americorps agency that places members in schools and non-profit organizations that directly serve youth through tutoring, mentoring, health education, and gardening. They receive a monthly stipend as well as an educational award upon completion of the 1700 hours of service. Americorps members typically spend three days a month on team and personal/professional development in addition to their full-time commitment to the garden. If you are interested in environmental education with youth and working in school gardens, Americorps is a rewarding way to gain practical experience.
