What We Do
Welcome to The Threshold Foundation!
Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about our work. We invite you to join us in our efforts!
Our mission is to teach life skills to the community through youth centered programs with a focus on sustainable agriculture.
We produce healthy food for residents of the city and independent living elderly residents within 80 miles radius of Lancaster City and provide youth leadership opportunities during the school year. Most importantly, we strive to inspire and support others to create change in their own communities.
Since 1993, The Threshold Foundation has built a model for engaging young people in personal and social change through sustainable agriculture. Each year, we work with over 60 teens and volunteers to farm on 1 1/2 acre of land in the City of Lancaster Pa. We consider our hallmark to be our focus on identifying and transforming a new generation of leaders by placing teens in unusually responsible roles, with deeply meaningful work.
There are so many ways you can get involved in The Threshold Foundation’s projects donate, volunteer, buy our food, work here, sign up for our mailing list and more. Please explore them all on this website!
