YOUTH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
Young people (14-17) participate in workshops, serve at local food distribution, lead volunteers in the gardens, work in the gardens, and work with the community to find innovative ways to expand food access. Our youth are committed, powerful agents of change.
We bring together a diverse group of young people across racial, socio-economic, gender identity, and geographic differences to partner with adults in building a more equitable food system for everyone.

TRANSITIONAL EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM.
Our Transitional Employment Program provides job training, transitional employment, and support services to people who are experiencing homelessness. Working hand in hand, our community of volunteers, interns, customers, and trainees form strong bonds through collaboration.
​
This blended experience breaks down the profound sense of isolation felt by many people experiencing homelessness, while providing a platform for those who want to learn and take action. Moving as a diverse, symbiotic ecosystem, the Transitional Employment Program builds a path out of homelessness, betters our local food system, and connects people through community service and environmental stewardship. Together we work to create a stronger, more sustainable home for everyone in our community.
