FoodWhat Founder/Director Doron Comerchero describes a unique farm-based program for Santa Cruz County youth:
“The playing field for youth in Santa Cruz County is not level. FoodWhat serves low-income and struggling teenage youth across Santa Cruz County who suffer disproportionately from common problems associated with poverty: diminished school success, severely limited employment options, personal or family trauma, low self-esteem and compromised health. Through healthy food, meaningful work, and a deeply connective and supportive group of people surrounding them, the youth in FoodWhat carve out a different path for themselves.”
