Youth Mentoring Children

A child at AFSC's Friends Peace
Garden in South LA looks at
a giant sunflower in
amazement.

AFSC is working with several students from Central High School in South Los Angeles in training them to mentor elementary school age children.   In an effort to build stronger relationships with our community partner, the All Peoples Community Center, 3 to 4 high school youth throughout the school year and summer shows kids from the center’s day care program about growing their own food, building and caring for a garden, and healthy eating.  AFSC staff is assisted by 
the school and community center's staff.
