New Growth Project is located on a 20-acre farm in Rockford, Michigan. The team at New Growth Project knows there is an enormous need for employment opportunities for individuals who are neuro diverse.
We understand that individuals who have cognitive differences may need additional support at work to experience success, build skills, and ultimately become confident in their abilities. We meet our employees at the level they are at, finding opportunities that success can immediately be seen. Then we help build additional skills, encourage self-advocacy, and independence in the workplace.
This way, everyone has an opportunity to be a part of a job that they love, look forward to, and creates a more inclusive community.
