We're excited to highlight our new addition to the leadership team at St. Pete Youth Farm! Kenzell Williams, 19, volunteered with us over the Summer to learn more about what we do. Kenzell was a natural fit for the supervisor role when the time came to transition to our Fall programming. He plays a big part in being an example to our youth and taking care of day-to-day farm duties.
What got you interested in getting involved at St. Pete Youth Farm?
"Learning how to grow my own food and take care of my own land," he said, "I can take care of me and my family."
What do you enjoy about working here?
"I like the environment, I like the youthfulness, we're literally around growth everyday." For him it keeps him busy with meaningful work versus working a regular job. Outside the farm, Kenzell enjoys boxing, roller skating, and running.
