What’s Ya Power?

Cultivating the Next Generation of Creative Leaders

What’s Ya Power? is a vocational youth program and community initiative designed to empower students through the intersection of gardening, culinary arts, and entrepreneurship. Based in South Los Angeles with a vision that reaches across the globe, we provide young creators with a living classroom where they can explore their potential and reclaim their connection to the land.

Our curriculum goes beyond traditional education. We guide students as they cultivate organic gardens, develop their own botanical products, and learn the essential skills of branding and business. This journey culminates in our Community Farmers Market, a student-led celebration where the harvest is shared and the power of youth leadership is on full display.

Through our unique partnership model, every corporate and museum collaboration with What’s Ya Vibe? directly seeds the infrastructure for this program. We are creating a circular ecosystem where the success of today’s industry leaders provides the soil for tomorrow’s innovators to thrive. We believe that when youth understand the power of their own hands and voices, they become the architects of a more vibrant and resilient future.
