Growing Home organic urban farm and job readiness program

So, this is where I work. Like all non-profits, we're in the midst of our annual campaign. If you have the inclination and the means, please visit our website to make a donation and to learn more about what we do. growinghomeinc.org/

Here's a summary of our work: We work with people with multiple barriers to employment. We provide job skills and work experience on our organic urban farm. We also teach computer skills, practice job interviews, help with goal setting, help participants get their criminal records sealed or expunged so that they are better able to secure employment, help participants access social services, help participants earn their driver's license and GED, provide fresh produce to a food desert, and work with community organizers to make sure improvements to the neighborhood bring opportunities for residents, rather than displacing them.
