Job-Training & Transitional Employment

The Project's employment-training program serves individuals in Santa Cruz county who are homeless or formerly homeless, who have experienced barriers to employment, and who wish to maintain a stable productive place in society.

Find out if you're eligible

Our training consists of formal classes and hands-on work in these programs:

  • In the Natural Bridges Farm program where trainees learn to sow, cultivate, and harvest organic produce and fresh cut flowers. This harvest is sold through our Community Supported Agriculture program.
  • In the Women’s Organic Flower Enterprise (WOFE), our value-added enterprise. In WOFE, trainees learn to dry a wide variety of herbs and flowers and design beautiful, long-lasting arrangements and other value-added products.

The best way to apply is to bring your completed application to the farm on a Thursday or Friday between 10 and 2. We encourage you to spend some time at the farm to confirm that this is something to which you can commit. When there are openings, farm staff will review applications and call qualified candidates for interviews.
