Alaska Seeds of Change

Growing Futures: Come join our mentorship network at Alaska Seeds of Change, a hydroponic vocational training facility right here in Anchorage. Our greenhouse works to employ and empower local youth, increase self reliance, and provide fresh produce to our neighbors. Volunteers play a vital role in keeping our day to day operations running smoothly, and provide opportunities for our youth to engage with the community. You’ll leave with new knowledge on hydroponic growing, and maybe some fresh produce too! Email volunteer@akseedsofchange.com for more information, or to set up your first volunteer shift.
