Durham Inner-city Gardeners or DIG, is a youth-driven, urban farming and leadership program. We are high school age youth who; inspire, encourage, give hope to, and challenge one another to be better every day. Together we tackle issues such as food access, social justice, and how to grow as individuals and as a community, all while managing an urban market garden in the heart of Durham.
Since DIG started in 2000 we have been attending the annual Rooted in Community (RIC) Conference. In 2010 we were hosts of the conference and had the opportunity to share our local food movement with youth from around the country. RIC is a national grassroots network that empowers young people to take leadership in our communities. RIC brings together youth and adults who are committed to fostering healthy communities and food justice through urban and rural agriculture, community gardening, food security, and related environmental justice work.
At the RIC conference, youth from around the country gather to share our passion for growing food and fighting for food justice. There we share what we do in our own communities, lead workshops, learn from our hosts about the issues they face their communities, and participate in direct actions. RIC is a place where we can grow as leaders and community.
This year RIC will be held in Detroit MI. While there, we will visit urban farms and food justice organizations in Detroit, learn about the history and struggles of people of color in Detroit, participate in and teach workshops, and get a taste of the food, culture, and art of the rapidly transforming Motor City.
The money we are raising through this GoFundMe campaign will pay for airfare and trasportation, conference registration, and meals for 6 youth and 2 adult coordinators to attend this extraordinary convening.
Any money we make above the conference needs will go to the general opperating funds for SEEDS .
Thank you for helping us get to RIC.
