Greater Edgemont Community Coalition’s mission is to facilitate connections and networks for the wider community through urban agriculture and civic engagement. Greater Edgemont is launching a pilot program to train youth in construction, home repair, lawn maintenance, landscaping and horticulture. This pilot is the start of a long-term strategy to build community-driven career pathways for Dayton youth while meeting repair and beautification needs in West Dayton. Funds will be used for the program’s first-year costs, such as youth stipends, food, equipment, supplies and storage.
