Funding & Other Opportunities
Exploring Your Farm Dream | CSU Online Course | Applications Due December 31st
This course is created specifically for adults who are new to agriculture, especially those considering a second career, planning for retirement, or seeking a more purposeful way to connect with their community and the land. Many participants arrive with a love of nutritious food, a passion for sustainability, or a growing interest in homesteading. What they often need is guidance, reflection, and a trusted resource to help them decide whether agriculture is the right next chapter.
Join the IHAC (Immigrant and Refugee Health Access Collaborative) | Meetings on the first Tuesday of each month
A collaborative of over 100 active agencies that meets monthly—on the first Tuesday of each month—to discuss the challenges facing immigrant and refugee communities, particularly in the wake of the Big Beautiful Bill. It’s an excellent space for shared learning, resource alignment, and collective action on emerging issues.
