Through day trips into nature, garden projects, & GreenFingers Project, women, men 

and children have a chance to experience new learning, the welcome of community and enjoy the 

peacefulness of the natural world. The experiences are simple and yet profound. People's lives 

are touched, spirits renewed, their bodies relaxed.

Green Fingers	GreenFingers is a micro-economic development project and "First Steps towards  Employment" program created by EarthLinks to benefit homeless and low-income  persons. Participants grow the plants in a local GreenFingers Peace garden, then use   the garden’s abundance to create products available for sale. These project artists earn  a modest wage and acquire job skills, plus an enhanced ability for socialization. Through  such activity, they gradually develop self-esteem, find opportunity to appreciate natural  beauty and enjoy a sense of accomplishment.
Garden Project	Our Garden Projects work with people at risk to cultivate gardens, providing an    essential grounding experience that confers a sense of place and self-worth to lives that    are often fragmented. Our gardens range from community gardens in downtown Denver,    to plots in the backyards of residential programs. The external activities in the garden    mirror the transformation happening within participants’ inner lives.
NatureTrips	Day Trips into Nature  offer time away from everyday struggles and concerns by  providing experiences in the city parks and in the mountains. Their vision of the world  and their part in it can grow, renewing their energy, their sense of connection, and their  dignity. These revitalizing trips can help to enable participants to return refreshed and  better able to face some of the chaos and challenges of life.
