Project Teach22 (T22) is our premier educational apprenticeship program that empowers vulnerable and socially/economically disadvantaged individuals and groups with skills and knowledge pertaining to small-scale, regenerative farming practices and ecological building skills for farm infrastructure and small affordable homes. This program takes place at several “satellite training farm classrooms” ranging from backyard and school gardens to small-scale farms that OurSpace has helped to cultivate. To date, OurSpace has helped to establish / revive 5 community gardens / farms. As it grows, T22 will expand its educational programming to include farm-based immersion and educational opportunities for youth and adults. We also plan to establish Each1Teach1, a crew of farmers/builders equipped to complete farming and building projects for the local community, teaching along the way.
