Green Chimneys

Children who come to Green Chimneys have experienced years of failure.  Many of these children have had few experiences to take care of themselves, let alone others.  Yet when they leave Green Chimneys, which is inevitable for all of them, they must learn how to do exactly that.

We have enormous resources on campus with our farm, gardens, kitchen, and country store to provide children with access to something they never thought they would achieve – success.  Our vocational activities and educational programs give children tools they can take with them after they leave Green Chimneys and provide practical experiences that give them confidence and knowledge for entry level employment.

	Boni-Bel Farm is a working organic farm which is an excellent training site for older adolescents
	Culinary Arts has two tracks in Green Cuisine where students learn how to read and prepare recipes.
	Animal Care at the Farm and Wildlife Center is where youth learn domestic animal care and assistance dog training.

Additionally, where appropriate, students receive training as Pool Aide, Nature's Nursery Aide, Fund Development Aide, Paper boy, Health center Aide, Classroom Aide, and Dorm Aide
