Think Outside Program

NAS has developed a curriculum that balances theoretical “book” knowledge and real-world, hands-on, relevant skills. Throughout the course of the first phase of the program, mentees will participate in the following modules:

​

1. Cleaning and Sanitation

2. Horticulture

3. Farm Equipment

4. Hospitality

5. Leadership and Entrepreneurship

​

Each module contains information that mentors will use to guide on-site instruction. Mentees will benefit from reading through the module material and applying it to their own field through application questions, place requirements, and personal reflection.

​

Both mentors and mentees benefit from this cooperative learning approach that emphasizes the holistic nature of running an agribusiness.
