YOUNG PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT NORMALLY SPEND TIME TOGETHER FORM STRONG BONDS, UNDERSTAND NEW PERSPECTIVES, AND LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AS MUCH AS THEY LEARN FROM ADULT MENTORS THEY WORK ALONGSIDE. CREW EXPERIENCES RANGE FROM NON-RESIDENTIAL POSITIONS WORKING ON PROJECTS IN HOME COMMUNITIES TO RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE IMMERSED IN VERMONT'S BACKCOUNTRY.


FARM - THE GOAL OF THE FARM IS TO PROVIDE A RICH LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR PARTICIPANTS WHO GROW, HARVEST, SELL AND DELIVER FOOD TO FAMILIES WHO HAVE STUGGLED WITH FOOD INSECURITY AND DIET RELATED ILLNESS.
