About Us:
More Gardens! Fund is deeply rooted in arts and education, with strong ties to community people, gardeners, and environmental and social justice activists.
The More Gardens Fund believes that the most fertile ground for positive change lies in fostering connection, understanding, and joy within our communities, particularly centering the voices and experiences of the majority of people of color who are often disproportionately impacted by environmental injustices. We envision New York City's streets, public spaces, and community gardens as vibrant ecosystems where art, activism, and environmental consciousness, led by and celebrating the contributions of BIPOC communities, intertwine. Our work, exemplified by initiatives like "Sprouting Justice" in the Lower East Side and "Rise Up! Green the Bronx" in the South Bronx, seeks to empower residents to become active agents of change in their own neighborhoods.
"Sprouting Justice," an Open Street program that activates the block in front of the Children's Magical Garden, transforms a public thoroughfare into a space for community celebration and creative expression. Similarly, "Rise Up! Green the Bronx" brings environmental education and art programming to Maria Sola Therapeutic Community Garden, using tools like the creation of beautiful and multi-functional living willow structures to enhance community spaces, empowering children and families to become stewards of their local green spaces and advocates for a healthier environment.
Duration: June 4 - August 24, 2025 (Full-time, Wednesday-Friday 9-5, Saturday & Sunday 10-6). The Timeline for each intern may be flexible depending on their request.
Job Description: Develop and execute culturally relevant and accessible environmental workshops and educational activities for Sprouting Justice, an Open Street program in the Lower East Side that opens up the block in front of the Children's Magical Garden for people and activities during July (food justice, recycling, art, music), addressing environmental justice issues impacting marginalized communities. In August, actively participate in the Rise Up Green the Bronx program at Maria Sola Therapeutic Community Garden by assisting with culturally responsive and accessible nature education and greening projects that empower children aged 8-13 and their families to become tree stewards and understand the role of urban trees in mitigating asthma and extreme heat. The June training will cover principles of environmental justice, culturally responsive pedagogy, and accessible workshop design. Assist with research, material preparation, and create inclusive learning environments.
