The mission of Earthworks is to improve the quality of life
for residents of the Greater Rochester area by providing education and
mentoring programs that teach invaluable life-skills and social responsibility,
while at the same time building healthy, lasting bonds between land and
community. Using a grassroots approach which employs a collaborative process
and strategic partnerships, our work centers on community building, job-skills,
education and alleviating poverty. Our programs link human health with
stewardship, positive youth development with a sense of social responsibility,
and education with community outreach. We provide a holistic means of building
relationships across both private and public sectors, and serve all residents
of Rochester in creating healthy, lasting bonds between land and each other.
