Garden Leaders and Garden Assistants

Getting teens working in the Green Hub Garden is fundamental to the project.

At their sessions, groups of up to 8 teens are supported by garden enthusiast adult volunteers. Sessions are led by a Garden Leader, who ideally needs to have a good knowledge of horticulture, along with at least two adult Garden Assistants, who need to be interested in gardening (though not necessarily super experienced), as well as keen to help teens.

The adult Garden Team members are not expected to counsel or advise teens but, in providing a safe, low-stress environment with a focus on nature and group purpose, we hope that teens will naturally open up, chat with each other and find support in our community. That said, you’ll definitely need to have a real interest in young people, as well as loads of empathy.

The sessions are currently on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. You aren’t asked to attend every week; we have a team, meaning that you are asked to commit to approx two sessions per ‘half term’, although we do understand that holiday and work commitments mean that this isn’t always possible.

Mission Statement

The Green Hub Project for Teens logo

The Green Hub Project for Teens is a local community project serving Surrey & Hampshire and surrounding areas. It supports young people (10-18) facing social, emotional and mental health challenges, along with their families and carers. In addition, Green Hub works to promote awareness and understanding of mental health and emotional wellbeing for young people in the broader community.

Green Hub’s purpose is to achieve positive, measurable outcomes for teen mental health, including self-love, active lifestyles, social interaction and inclusion, as well as the development and application of a range of learned skills. Green Hub achieves this through its Teen Garden social prescribing programme, talks and support groups within the local community, along with sharing useful information via the website.
