Agency: Literacy for Environmental Justice

Description: Literacy for Environmental Justice (LEJ) works to cultivate the next generation of community leaders in one of the Bay Area's poorest neighborhoods, empowering at-risk youth through environmental education, mentoring programs, civic activism, and good old-fashioned hard work in Bayview's few remaining green spaces.

Spend a few hours of your Saturday getting your hands dirty as you work side-by-side with these budding horticulturalists to restore their community one seed at a time. At the end of the project there will be a potluck BBQ. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided, but please bring something to share with the group. Dress in layers. (SF: Bayview)
