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 into 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. 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.
