OSW's historical mission has been to build leadership within the community by teaching and training valuable skills to individuals in the community to support growth of whole-person health, sustainable housing, education. OSW has added farming, natural building, and land management skills to this, and last year trained dozens of people in basic farming and rough carpentry last year.
