The Arizona Digging Deeper Project

The USDA, Arizona State Department of Education and University of Arizona Cooperative Extension are offering a grant opportunity to generate more visibility and support for outstanding youth gardening programs throughout Arizona.

"Arizona Digging Deeper" will provide youth garden leaders with practical, clear information about:

  • performance-based assessment
  • evaluating the impact of your program
  • documenting your story
  • networking with experts in the field

and, of course, so much more--including money for your program!
