Since opening our doors Added Value has provided long-term training to more than 85 neighborhood teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19, provided hundreds of local elementary school students with educational programs and worked thousands of
volunteers to build a more just and sustainable future for all.

Together we have helped revitalize local parks, transformed vacant lands into vibrant Urban Farms, improved our access to healthy, safe and affordable food, and begun to grow an economy that supports the needs of our community.

Our successes are due, in large part, to our ability to weave together a Community Advisory Council representing 30 local, regional and national institutions that support our work to improve the neighborhood by creating youth leaders.

Currently , Added Value has four main initiatives: Youth Empowerment, Urban Agriculture, Building a Just Food System, and Farm-to-Classroom.
