The Bonton Farms Seedtime and Harvest Apprenticeship Program is a peer driven program designed to achieve self-actualization. The Program endorses a relational, transformative, person-centered approach to empower, educate, and equip on the (7) Human Essentials, which are based on the social determinants of health and their workforce development needs.

The (7) Human Essentials are Transportation, Education, Access to Financial Tools, Community, Health & Wellness, Economic Stability, and Safe and Affordable Housing (T.E.A.C.H.E.S.). Bonton Farms uses the acronym, T.E.A.C.H.E.S., as a convenient and effective way to streamline our communication, enhance clarity, and facilitate memory recall regarding the importance of the Human Essentials. Apprentices will be exposed and educated on these concepts through a classroom type of environment in which they attend several times a week.

Here are three concepts to the Apprenticeship Program important for you to know:

Self-actualization

Self-actualization is a concept that refers to the realization or fulfillment of your potential, talents, and abilities. It represents the desire to become the most that you can be, and to achieve personal growth and fulfillment.

Social determinants of health

Social determinants of health are the social, economic, and environmental factors that influence an individual’s health outcomes and overall well-being. These factors include socioeconomic status, education, employment, housing, access to healthcare, social support networks, and environmental conditions. Understanding and addressing social determinants of health are crucial for promoting health equity and improving population health.

Workforce development

Workforce development refers to the systematic process of preparing you to enter, succeed in, and advance within the labor market by providing you with the education, training, skills, and support needed to meet the demands of employers and contribute effectively to the economy.

Program Eligibility

Apprentices will go through several evaluations to determine eligibility.
Must be at least 18 years of age (Age of Majority).
Must have demonstrated abstinence from illicit substance use.
Applicants with a substance use history must present proof of sobriety for a minimum of 30 days and/or a certificate of completion from a treatment program.
Must demonstrate a voluntary willingness to work well with others and subordinate to peer coaching and mentoring relationships.
Must strive to possess a growth mindset (believing that you can improve with optimal and intentional effort, hard work, and persistence).
Must not have any history with committing a sex offense.
Must be able to lift up to 15 lbs., bend, walk, and stand for long periods in all seasons of the year.

The Apprenticeship Program is not an intervention. We give Apprentices the opportunity to practice what they are learning on the job, as well as the grace to fail forward.
