This could change your life

Who do you want to be when you finish school? Are there things holding you back from meeting your goals? We can help you to overcome your obstacles and achieve your goals.

We invest in teens through our farm work program and personal development workshops. Interns gain work experience, income, job training, community and a positive use of time. Interns attend weekly classes (with dinner provided!) for which they receive community service hours. The workshops cover everything from conflict resolution to making good impressions to budgeting to interview skills. The program runs from March through October. Our goal is to empower youth to overcome obstacles and to set and achieve personal goals.
