Catalyzed by the faith-based nonprofit Urban Ministries, Urbanlife Farms provides jobs and training opportunities to area youth while producing healthy, local food and beautifying neighborhoods. The program operates two farm sites that were cultivated on previously vacant lots. Through its Tables initiative, Urbanlife Ministries also offers paid apprenticeships designed to help youth learn skills needed for careers within the food and hospitality industry. Part of the training is conducted at Urbanlife Café, the Ministries’ social enterprise that is located at a YMCA and serves Urbanlife Farm’s food.
