Cultivators offer opportunities for Bronx youth to experience nature and the outdoors as a way to strengthen their emotional and mental health. We know from experience (and lots of research studies) the many ways that green spaces help youth deal with the urban environment's daily stressors. Cultivators is passionate about providing youth hands-on opportunities to experience those benefits, which include improved emotional and social well-being, concentration, and self-esteem, as well as developing a sense of ownership and responsibility.
