Thanks for the info, but our 32 year old son, with an AA degree in language and culture, isn't qualified for any environmental jobs that we can find. He has a passion for environmental protection and would offer a lot to any organization working to improve our environment, but without a BA or BS, he is ineligible. He is too old to get involved in an introductory program. He does not live in an underserved community, have a criminal or drug record, so does not qualify for any program directed at these populations. He would love to start farming organically, but the grants available are limited to underserved, urban and minority groups. We are not in a position financially to just buy him a farm. These programs are all great, but where can he fit in. He does not want to return to college at this point. Where can he start? Thanks for your consideration.
Thank you!
