The EarthLinks Workshop:

The EarthLinks Workshop program is a micro-economic development project created by EarthLinks for people who are homeless and low-income. Using plants grown in our garden, participants design and create Earth-friendly products while earning a stipend for their work. Participants learn skills, engage in meaningful work for a modest wage, share companionship, gain increased confidence and self-esteem, connect with nature’s beauty, and raise Earth consciousness.
