Dig In and Give Back: Join the YP’s Community Service Event at COMPOST2025!

	Garfield Neighborhood Garden in Phoenix

Are you attending COMPOST2025? Do you like giving back to the local community and connecting with others? We have the perfect opportunity for you!

On Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., we’ll be gathering at the Garfield Neighborhood Garden, just a short four-minute drive, or 20-minute walk, from the Convention Center. 

The mission of the Garfield Neighborhood Garden is to provide community members access to urban garden space, and support the production of healthy food, and to promote sustainable gardening practices by educating young people and adults about the benefits of gardening while building community.

We’ll be tackling essential garden tasks like turning compost piles, weeding, planting, and preparing the garden for the upcoming spring season. No experience is needed, and gardening equipment will be provided. It’s a fun and easy way to get outdoors, build connections, and make a difference.

After the volunteering session, stay for a networking event and enjoy a delicious sponsored lunch.
