Fall Brook Farms / Geneseo Acupuncture and Integrative Health
Want to Volunteer for a Day?
The Wellvention youth are spending a day in the country at Fall Brook Farms. We are welcoming a couple of helpers on
Sunday September 22.
Since 2005, ProsperRochester’s WellVentions initiative has evolved into our region’s only year-round legacy business run by youth teams, paying stipends to over 600 Rochester youth. Their permanent space at the Rochester Public Market serves as a vital training ground for youth transitioning into the job market - as they develop, test, and sell their products to generate income and support their mission. WellVentions exposes youth to career options in the business cycle - R&D, product proto-typing, commercialization, marketing, sales, and management.
WellVentions teen entrepreneurs also learn mental health literacy, an essential job skill for success in life and in the workplace. With the instruction of Dr. Mark Nobel and the research of Stanford researcher Dr. David Burn, the kids have been learning the Fast Track on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The youth develop and facilitate play-based lessons to mentor their younger peers in day care centers and schools.
Jill Stolt, Exec. Director
The Kids will be at Fall Brook Farm on Sunday September 22, from 10am – 4 pm.
We will hike the gorge, have a drumming circle, camp fire, and lunch.
Could you join us as a volunteer? Or help us prepare for the event on the Friday before?
