About the Program:
Excelsior Youth Center's ultimate goal in terms of the garden is to foster an interest in science horticulture and green industries that will serve our at risk students during and well beyond their stay with us by promoting academic achievement and creating career possibilities for them. Additionally the therapeutic potential of this garden will greatly enhance our students' experience as they both work in the garden with our volunteers and use it as a place of respite.
