For almost 18 years, the Mohawk Valley Latino Association (MVLA) has provided emergency services such as rent assistance, housing, food and groceries, translation and interpretation, and immigration services to vulnerable people in the community of Utica and the greater Mohawk Valley area. With the COVID-19 pandemic, these needs have increased.
We are now looking for a home to address the emergency services as they arise. A place where people can grow healthy food, cook, eat and celebrate community and tradition together. We have in mind a class of up to twenty intergenerational and intercultural students who will design the MVLA Permaculture Demonstration Garden at 28 Scott Street in Utica. The School for Ecosystem Advocacy is a curriculum for developing workforce and life skills using the permaculture principles and ethics as a framework. This training will benefit people of all ages. In all aspects of this program, special attention will be paid to engaging with and supporting the voices of people of color. This training will spark ingenious ways to adapt to the COVID economy. |

La Escuela para la Defensa del Ecosistema es un plan de estudios para desarrollar la fuerza laboral y las habilidades para la vida utilizando los principios y la ética de la permacultura como marco. Esta capacitación beneficiará a personas de todas las edades. En todos los aspectos de este programa, se prestará especial atención a la participación y el apoyo a las voces de las personas de color. Esta capacitación generará formas ingeniosas de adaptarse a la economía de COVID. |

The community space and garden will also directly impact those community members who are at a higher risk of poverty and inequality. However, the Abundancia project will benefit everyone who seeks to find a safe space to help build community.
La Abundancia project will benefit the Utica youth to develop workforce skills that will help them succeed in their careers.
