Root & Rise is a therapeutic horticulture, vocational, and life skills program designed for high school students and young adults transitioning beyond high school who are navigating mental health, physical, developmental, learning, or social-emotional challenges.

Workplace and job-readiness skills
Communication and teamwork
Responsibility and accountability
Problem-solving and decision-making
Self-advocacy
Independence and essential life skills
Confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose
By blending the restorative benefits of therapeutic horticulture with practical vocational and life skills experiences, Root & Rise helps prepare participants for greater independence and future success—at school, in the workplace, at home, and within their communities.
To provide individualized support and meaningful engagement, enrollment is limited to 8–10 participants per session.
