Eagle View’s Recharge Teen Center in Monmouth offers a safe place for local teens to hang out with their peers and participate in fun programs and events all summer long. One of the programs teens can be involved with is gardening, which produce will eventually be sold at the Monmouth Farmer’s Market, says Services Coordinator Amy Rogers:
“We are next month actually going to be able to start harvesting our garden. We will be at Jamieson Community Center hopefully on Thursdays, working out some transportation so we don’t have to walk. Once we get that figured out, we will be down there picking vegetables and getting them ready to sell at the Farmer’s Market on Friday nights. That will go directly back to the center. Being a non-for-profit and things being up in the air with what direction we are going and what is coming and going, it will help the kids have a piece in the sustainability for us.”
Daily activities for the teens can be found on Facebook at Recharge Teen Center. Enrollment is available for teens entering 8th grade through age 18.
