Living Smart Youth Education and On-the-Job Training at Farmers Markets is led by founders Don Hall and Marie Hall and was founded in 2008. Certified educators teach youth and families using a proactive curriculum that focuses on vital life skills and self-sustainability in the classroom and through hands-on real-life opportunities. The program uses a teaching business model where students “LEARN while they EARN” with on-the-job training experiences for teens ages 14 and up, and youth receive ongoing hard and soft skills education through weekly lessons that they practice on the job while earning a wage. Living Smart operates Farmers Markets in many communities and organizes them to support certified farmers, small businesses, youth, and their families. The organization was created to provide real-world, hands-on, relevant financial, business, and entrepreneurship education programs for youth from all social and ethnic backgrounds and to teach the importance of giving back and building collaborative partnerships and positive relationships with local businesses and service agencies. The markets are family-friendly, dog and pet friendly, non-smoking, accept EBT/WIC benefits, and include special events such as Artisan/Craft Fairs and Health Fairs.
