Our mission is to empower Hudson Valley youth through immersive employment opportunities in sustainable agriculture, green building, and entrepreneurship.

• We support the uniqueness, wholeness, and dignity of each person. We strive to respond to the individual needs and preferences of each youth we support and serve.

• We enthusiastically advocate for the rights of marginalized youth so they may fully participate in and contribute to community life. This includes enjoying a secure home, education, public services, and work they find meaningful.

• We view all human life as having equal and unconditional value. Each life should be nurtured, respected, celebrated, and fulfilled.

• We support the life-long process of personal growth and development of all youth.

• We will take every opportunity to offer education to others and advocate for basic civil rights.

• We emphasize inclusiveness between our members and throughout our community efforts.
