Would you like to see behind the scenes at New Growth Project? Check out this opportunity next week for an online exploration of the farm.

68% of individuals with cognitive differences are unemployed in Kent County, Michigan. New Growth Project is working to change that.
New Growth Project creates job opportunities through farming, creating products for your home, and curating beautiful gift boxes. Through their peer-mentoring program, employees learn new skills, gain confidence, and become a part of the community.
In next week's Deep Dive, you’ll hear their origin story, how they operate day-to-day, what’s working, and what’s hard — followed by 15 minutes of open Q&A.

It looks like a photo of a tour...but there's more. Yes, we welcomed two tours from KCTC to the farm this week.

The students learned about what it's like to work on the farm. What is EXTRA special is that our very own Jessie (NGP employee) assisted on the tour and shared about the different tasks she helps with. 💛

Our employees aren't just learning new skills, they are leading the way for others. 👏🏻

Your support makes it possible. Thank you!
