Community Work and Service
Our Community Work and Service on The Farm is rooted in the healing power of social engagement and being a part of a community. Residents spend 15-20 hours a week working as a part of a team that contributes daily to the life of our community campuses. Residents can choose work that inspires and best matches their interests, including horticulture and animal care, cooking and baking, carpentry, landscaping, and drum building. CooperRiis at Asheville structures their days around more clinically intensive groups, individual psychiatry, and psychotherapy for residents. Learn More
