LEAFF Program
​
Agriculture, viticulture, hospitality and life skills training with meaningful purpose,
volunteer and part time employment as the goal.
Four year suggested attendance after successfully completing a readiness evaluation.
This program is designed to help moderate functioning adults develop every day living skills, horticulture and viticulture basics, and relationship building. ​Suggested 4 year enrollment, with skills assessment before graduating.
​​
We spend each day learning and growing through group exercises (body awareness and physical health), meditation (well-being and presentness), gardening (fine-motor skills and nature awareness), vineyard maintenance, individualized educational skills and every day life skills.
