About this Event
About Us
Urban Autism Solutions is a non-profit organization dedicated to changing outcomes for young adults with autism and related challenges through an integrated community life that advances social and vocational opportunities. Growing Solutions Farm is our signature vocational training site for more than 100 young adults annually who learn transferable job skills. Produce is sold as a CSA, at our twice-weekly farmstand, and wholesale. Produce is also donated to our young adult participants and food pantries such as Marillac House, helping food insecure individuals on the West Side of Chicago.
