To provide an opportunity for women leaving prison to live and work on a farm where they grow food, nourish self, and foster community.
Women possessing the knowledge and tools necessary to live independently and successfully in their chosen communities
One of the objectives from our recently completed strategic plan is to form an Advisory Council upon whom we can rely to help guide us in creating an effective, successful, sustainable program. Luckily Benevolence Farm was chosen by a group of talented first-year masters students enrolled in the Environmental Program Management course at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment to be their client and receive their assistance with this task. The team developed a plan for how the Council could be structured, identified the types of advisors who would be most beneficial to our mission, and generated a list of proposed Council members who have the necessary skills and/or expertise to serve in such a capacity. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Anthony Rogers, Taylor Gelsinger, Jenny Kim, and Abigail Furnish pictured here.
