We envision a world where young people living in Staten Island’s most forgotten neighborhoods are a central voice in building neighborhood power and autonomy.
We aspire to create a Staten Island for young people where the street you live on does not limit what you can do, who you can become, and the resources and opportunities you have access to.
Forgotten Foods & Youth Internship Program
The internship educates, trains, and organizes youth to creatively transform Staten Island’s local food system, culture, and neighborhood spaces.
Forgotten Foods Fellowship
Fellows are trained to be neighborhood organizers who creatively solve local root cause issues in food justice and youth developers. They learn Forgotten Foods’s community organizing approach and principles, food justice and mutual aid-related terms, political education, and how to analyze City policy.
