Red Hook Added Value Youth Empowerment Programs Youth participants grow food on the Red Hook Community Farm, operate the Red Hook Farmers' Market, explore food systems and issues of food justice, and build their leadership skills. Added Value works with approximately 20 teenagers annually, who work an average of seventeen hours each week on our Farm, at market, on the computers, and out in the community. They receive a monthly stipend, expanding their families' household income by as much as thirty percent.
