By providing skill-training in agriculture, construction, culinary arts, and mechanics, we equip the young men with the confidence and competence to grow into community leaders and break cycles of poverty. We operate the program on our 10 acre production farm, focusing on sustainable growing practices that serve the community. While working on the farm the youth earn a paycheck, acquire soft skills, and learn transferable trades. The youth also partake in classes covering financial literacy, resume building, and stress management techniques. <\/p>\n<p>In the spring and fall, we operate an auxiliary program called M.A.C. (mechanics, agriculture, and construction) with a local alternative high school. In the program, the students spend 6 weeks learning under the guidance of a skilled mentor.  Mentors engage the students in projects and initiatives around the farm catered to their specific team. The students are also exposed to trade programs as potential options for them post graduation. The M.A.C. program is growing and continuing to demand more resources from our staff and organization. To support the growth, funding is needed for the wages of an additional mentor and the supplies to facilitate projects and learning. We measure impact through daily student reports, as well as school teacher feedback.\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 10,500<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): North Kansas City Schools (Committed)<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: Feb 2027- November 2027<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Kansas City, MO <br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 14-16<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mr <br \/>\nContact First Name: John <br \/>\nContact Last Name: Gordon<br \/>\nContact Title: Executive Director<br \/>\nContact Phone: 776-793-5056<br \/>\nContact Email: boysgrowgrants@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: BoysGrow Legal Name (if Different): BoysGrow Corp Also Known As: Mailing Address: 9301 E 147th ST City: Kansas City State: MO Postal Code: 64149 Main Phone: 816-226-8499 Main Fax: Organization Website: https:\/\/boysgrow.com\/ Employer ID Number: 27-2647539 Organization Tax Status: 501(c)(3) nonprofit Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 3\/19\/26 Requested [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10517"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10518,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10517\/revisions\/10518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
