YOUTHCAN
The UCAN Youth Community Garden, YouthCan, is dedicated to instilling hands-on experiences and opportunities to learn and understand agriculture, economics, and the compassion of providing for your community.
Duke Men’s Basketball & YouthCan!
The work performed by the Duke Men’s Basketball Team for the YouthCan Community Garden helped us tremendously! They completed the building of every single raised garden bed and our compost bins. Their hard work and leadership skills were shown. The Duke Men’s Basketball Team and Coaches had a positive impact on the youth volunteers and provided memories they’ll never forget!
Recent Project!
Our YouthCan project of building raised beds for the YouthCan high tunnel was recently completed, thanks to an amazing group of youth volunteers! They were so excited to get hands-on, and we had incredible adults on-site to safely guide them through constructing the raised beds. Be on the lookout for more YouthCan opportunities in the future!
(And don't worry – the little one with the drill was safe, as the drill didn’t have a battery or bit in it 😉)
