Covenant Farms: Urban Farming In Downtown New Orleans

Download document

Description

While the New Orleans Covenant House shares common values with national partners, the organization has developed a set of site-specific strategies for youth training. White Dove Landscaping and the Covenant Café teach students real-world job skills under a proven social entrepreneurship model. Covenant Farms will build upon these two existing job training programs, linking landscape to kitchen through food production. Although real goods and services come out of these three initiatives, the primary focus of each program is on youth development.
