For many California students, school feels irrelevant to their future success. They may disengage—or drop out.
The Magnolia Project bridges classroom education with students’ dreams for their futures by connecting:
SCHOOLS
We partner with schools and districts to provide career exploration and apprenticeships for students in grades 7-12.
“Guerneville School loves our partnership with Magnolia Project. It gives our students real-world, life and work experience, and they enjoy every minute of it. It prepares students for the workplace, it connects them with their community. It builds their confidence all the way around.”
– Sarah Deering, Vice Principal, Guerneville School
BUSINESSES
There can be concerns about the time burden of student mentorship. Our training and support make it easy and rewarding to guide students through hands-on experience, while “recruiting” future talent!
“The Magnolia Project opens a little window into our world for high school students to see what it's like to work for a small scale organic family farm. Students are so interested and engaged with learning a little bit more about where their food comes from. I love having them on the farm, I love their energy and curiosity. And even if they decide farming is not for them, that experience is just as valuable.”
– Kristin Morrison, Preston Farm and Winery
