We provided experiential job training AND created the Common Ground small-farm to function as
one of the experiential training ‘labs’ ?

We built micro-enterprise bases as an extension of the job-training—the
farm being phase 1?

The training continues, especially focusing on refugees who are beyond the eight months of government assistance.
We hope to scale our program to help more refugees.
The Common Ground farm will continue as a micro-enterprise base, with hopefully more to come.
Trainees and volunteers continue to grow and thrive.
