Grow Home is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to building capacity with local leadership and creating employment and recreational opportunities in under-served Baltimore communities by helping turn empty and ignored green spaces into centers of neighborhood activity, exercise, and everyday use. We teach young people agricultural skills at City of Refuge Victory Garden, a 1/3 acre community farm, and our small indoor hydroponics and microgreens lab. We grow vegetables for donation and flowers for sale to wholesale and retail markets. Our farm promotes independence and entrepreneurship, and we encourage our trainees to grow and sell their own produce at home while also teaching them the professional skills required to get and maintain a job.
Our ultimate goal is to prepare young people for gainful employment by communicating with them about their needs and desires. We seek to develop and plan for success through education and hands-on opportunities with community groups and employers.
