The youth farm in Laval aims to help youth aged 16-25 in need of support or direction, help them to set goals and to achieve them. <\/p>\n

The youth farm, a non-profit organization that offers programs to students who have dropped out and need a sense of direction, has been in existence for 20 years. Located in the Montreal suburbs, the organization helps up to forty young people in difficulty each year.<\/p>\n

The organization also offers resources to young people who are experiencing anger issues, have drug or alcohol dependance, are involved in crime or have low self-esteem.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach person who commences the program starts off by having to set a goal,\u201d La Ferme Jeunes au Travail spokeswoman Marie-Pier Beaulieu said. \u201cWe help them achieve these goals before they leave.\u201d <\/p>\n

For six months, with the help of psychosocial specialists and specialized educators, participants learn to develop a healthy lifestyle that will get them to learn more about themselves.<\/p>\n

During the program, the participants participate in various jobs at a vast range of workstations including: organic farming, construction, commercial cooking, cabinetmaking-joinery, mechanics and customer service. <\/p>\n

At the farm, they are paid for their work, experience that will essentially give them the opportunity to support themselves to get back in school or to ease a successful transition to the workforce.<\/p>\n

During their growing season, the farm supplies several families with vegetables with their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) baskets from June 18-October 26.<\/p>\n

People can pre-ordering a basket of vegetables to be delivered to the same drop-off point each week during summer and fall months. People are asked to visit their website at www.jeunesautravail.ca<\/a> to register and make advance payment.<\/p>\n

There are three locations where Laval residents can pick up their baskets:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Community Centre Champfleury, 2585, Boulevard des Oiseaux;<\/li>\n
  • Young Farm Labor 2595 Upper St. Francis; and<\/li>\n
  • Armand-Frappier Museum Parking, 531 Boulevard des Prairies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \nTheir goal this year is to have 350 people sign up.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBut the goal isn\u2019t just to make them work or about having registrations,\u201d Beaulieu added. \u201cRather, the objective is to help them grow and develop social skills.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

    \n
    \nTheir produce will also be available at a stand at the farm itself from June 14-November, at 2595, rang du Haut St .Fran\u00e7ois. The facility will remain open seven days a week and will offer a variety of fresh organic vegetables grown on site: fruits, herbs, eggs, cooked foods and condiments (jams, ketchups, pickles, honey, pesto and many other concoctions made in the farm’s commercial kitchen). <\/div>\n
    \n
    \n\u201cThis organization is a really good thing\u201d Beaulieu smiled. \u201cSome of the people who come to us are from underprivileged backgrounds and want to escape. The farm gives them the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
