SANetters,

I have been asked by a minister in a medium sized community if there
are any projects involving non-farm youth in community farming
projects that might serve as a model for him. He is impressed by
what his own children have gained from involvement in 4-H and would
like to explore with 4-H the possibility of involving youth in his
community in a community farming project. Any pointers for him? Any
ideas of people who are doing anything that might serve as a model
for him?

I'll be glad to pass along ideas and suggestions. Many thanks for
any help on this.

Charlie
