at-risk youth on the South Side of Elyria.

EV Youth SEE began in the Spring of 2009 with our partnership with Save Our Children. We work to help at-risk youth, particularly young men, to develop healthy and productive lifestyles, using urban agriculture as our primary tool.

Eden Vision youth are empowered to transform the desolate land in their neighborhoods into sources of wholesome food and centers for community.
