Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church LAND Program

Greater Bethel is launching a youth mentoring program in the month of April 2024 for youth grades K-12. We will only initially accept 15 youth into the LAND Program. Through The LAND Program, we aim to provide mentoring, gardening education, nature-based survival skills, and entrepreneurship training to elementary through high school students. Our project seeks to address two significant challenges facing today's youth: a lack of practical skills and limited exposure to entrepreneurship opportunities. Through The LAND Program we intend to empower young individuals aged 5-18 with hands-on gardening training, basic wilderness survival skills, business acumen, and the confidence to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. Our mission is to impart land-based entrepreneurship and sustainable life skills.
