🌟 Mission in Action: Meet Aaron

This week, we’re celebrating Aaron, who arrives at each shift with energy and a "can-do" attitude. Whether it’s greeting coworkers with a smile, mastering the seeding trays, or helping transplant seedlings in the field, he reminds us daily why our mission matters.

Meaningful work doesn’t just build skills—it also builds confidence, fosters friendships, and instills pride. At New Growth Project, adults with disabilities have a place to shine, contribute, and belong.
