The Center for Living and Learning is a private non-profit Residential Treatment Facility for housing adults who experience severe and persistent mental illnesses. Our mission is to provide 24-hour residential care and job training to individuals experiencing mental illness in a therapeutic environment with emphasis on the highest level of functioning and independent living. Our purpose is to create a restorative environment for these individuals in a community setting by responding to the total range of their needs. Twenty-four hour supervision by trained staff will be provided to assist residents. A daily job training program is offered to residents and to non-residents of the Center.
Center for Living and Learning vocational trainees maintain a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, where they engage in all aspects of garden production, including starting seeds, transplanting, garden care and maintenance, harvesting crops and flowers, and putting together weekly share boxes for our customers. A limited number of CSA shares are available each year for members of the local community to purchase and enjoy fresh weekly produce from our CLL garden. CSA baskets can include vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers. This is a wonderful way to support our vocational trainees as they gain valuable experience with job training in the garden setting. CSA customers pick up their shares at CLL on Thursday afternoons, 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m., May through October.
