Summer 2024 Internship

STEM Scholars interns are working to support environmental justice and food inequality by volunteering at La Huerta Roots and Rays community garden. Interns will learn how to maintain a greenspace; contribute to food inequality by harvesting caring for fruits and vegetables plants; continue learning about environmental justice, social justice, and more.

La Huerta Roots & Rays is located in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood. The garden’s mission is to host an environment for families, friends, and neighbors to come together to grow food, tell stories, and share experiences. It is a place to build community.
