Check out the work our intern Mya and volunteers are doing! Lifting up fallen graves is hard work and is so satisfying when they are unearthed and cleaned so the person can be properly honored.
Mya is here doing an internship of behalf of Jersey City and doing an amazing job. This is an unconventional internship to say the least! Mya is not only cleaning graves but helping plant flowers in our monarch garden, working on social media, helping tend to the goats, etc. The jobs here are incredibly diverse and she’s up to the task and we couldn’t be more proud.

Also thank you to Candice Alex Knezevic and James Kraft
