The Elevated Roots Project

The Elevated Roots Project nurtures the emotional, social, and developmental growth of at-risk youth and their families through holistic, farm-based and nature-centered experiences. Our program creates a safe, loving environment where family bonds are strengthened, life skills are cultivated, and every individual is empowered to heal, grow, and thrive.

Through hands-on engagement with the land—gardening, animal care, and learning sustainable farming and stewardship practices—participants reconnect with the rhythms of nature while developing resilience, confidence and a deep sense of belonging. When families participate in the Elevated Roots Project, they have an opportunity to cultivate not only crops, but character, community, and the foundational life skills needed to rise—firmly rooted in the earth and elevated by purpose.
