I managed a three year federal grant called the Syracuse Refugee Agriculture Partnership Program (SyRAPP). It's a three year program for refugees who have interest in farming and gardening. ESL and gardening/farming classes are taught and participants get their own plot of land to farm on to provide food for their families or to sell at the market. I coordinated the classes, and transportation, and wrote all of the documents required for the grant.
