Cultivate Community - Teen Community Engagement Gardening

Looking for ways to make a meaningful difference in your community? Do you like getting outside in nature?

Join the President Junior Leadership Council (PJLC) as we "Cultivate Community" in the Team Member Wellness Garden at Northern Westchester Hospital. Get hands-on experience gardening, meet new friends, and enjoy some relaxing time outdoors.

No previous gardening experience is required. All participants will receive a certificate of community service hours.

About the Team Member Wellness Garden: All produce grown in the Employee Wellness Garden is given to our most at-risk patients upon discharge from the hospital. The goals of the Team Member Wellness Garden are to address food insecurity while creating a sanctuary for hospital staff to de-stress and get physical activity outdoors.

This event will take place at Northern Westchester Hospital, located at 400 East Main St. in Mt Kisco, NY. This is an in-person community service focused event. In the event of rain, this event will be rescheduled.

For any questions, please email chl@northwell.edu.

About the PJLC Cultivate Community initiative:

Reconnecting with loved ones and our communities, in the safest ways possible, can be a great boost to our mental health and well-being. The students in our President’s Junior Leadership Council are encouraging us all to Cultivate Community—to reengage and reconnect with those around us to enhance our sense of unity. It can be challenging to know where to start. To learn more about this initiative and some tips for reconnecting, read our 2-part blog (part 1 and part 2).
