Since our founding in 2009, Roots of Success has remained committed to promoting environmental literacy, academic skills, and career readiness training within a wide variety of workforce and reentry programs. While we recognize that many programs have faced extreme reductions in funding over the last few years, we know that basic environmental and academic literacy skills training remain critical to preparing people with barriers to employment to become job ready and obtain entry-level jobs in the green economy.
This is why we are thrilled to announce that through a generous grant from the Kendeda Fund we will be able to provide 30 job training and reentry programs with Roots of Success Train-the-Instructor training for up to two of their staff, as well as the student workbooks required for a year’s worth of classes (up to 60), free of charge! Interested programs should submit an application by Friday, November 15, 2013. To apply online go to:
