Eden Streets establishes farms in areas with high rates of homelessness to effectively develop the workforce.

Our 16-week job training program empowers our farm interns with life and job skills to help them reintegrate into their community.
Job Training Program
Our job training program, Grow Ogden, transitionally employs those who want a new start in an urban farm setting for 16-weeks to facilitate their reintroduction to the workforce. The aim to to help each farm intern secure full-time employment by the program's end.
The Farm Manager determines what to plant and guides interns in organic farming practices as they work together with the Job Training Supervisor. The Job Training Supervisor hires interns, teaches them life and job skills, and facilitates relationship building within their cohort. The Intern Advocate works individually with each intern to overcome barriers to full-time employment and stable housing.
