Vision Driven Consulting (VDC) offers a three-part workshop series to help local growers learn about fundraising and develop strategies to resource agricultural work.
All sessions are facilitated by Brittany Campese (Vision Driven Consulting) and Dori Buttz (Penn State Extension) at various locations around Philadelphia. The entire series will be catered by foodeveryonedeserves (f.e.d.). We ask that participants pay a modest, sliding scale fee of $10-20 per workshop, which will offer VDA the ability to continue the series after grant funding ends. However, nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.
Space is limited, please sign up in advance!
