    Default job background
    Description

    Urban Growers Collective (UGC) uses urban agriculture and community food system development to dismantle inequities and structural racism, which prevent communities of color from living healthy, vibrant lives.

    UGC cultivates nourishing environments in Chicago's historically disinvested communities, seeding pathways to freedom while supporting residents' health, economic development, healing and creativity through urban agriculture.

    As a Black- and woman-led 501(c)(3) organization, we believe that achieving food justice is a necessary first step in healing the historical trauma experienced by communities of color, building their resilience, and, ultimately, achieving liberation.

    While our work is rooted in farming, UGC's approach is holistic.

    Our eight farms over 11 acres primarily on the Southside of Chicago, IL growing over 25,000 pounds of fresh produce annually, enabling food access to tens of thousands of food-insecure Chicagoans and providing safe and healing spaces for educational and life-enriching opportunities to hundreds of individuals each year through public workshops, workforce development, and land stewardship.

    Now, UGC is preparing to open a new renewable energy facility and hub for urban agriculture and green jobs on Chicago's South Side, the Green Era Campus.

    Through this work, we are breathing new life into long-neglected communities, building a sustainable model for a just food sector, and redefining what's possible for Chicago's local food systems.
