WHAT WE DO:
Vocation & Community
To accomplish our Mission and live out our Values, we focus on two departments: Vocation and Community.
Vocation is where we develop programs and systems to encourage meaningful workplaces and healthy employees. Community is where we cultivate community partnerships & relationships + promote advocacy and education.
2024 Programs
EQUITY
Common Good
Companies want to impact their community but often are overwhelmed with options and knowing where and how to start. We assist organizations in mobilizing within their ecosystem for the common good. We help cultivate authentic employee and community engagement, from equitable recruiting to organizing and creating relationship-building opportunities. We help engage companies with what’s important within their communities to maximize impact and value: letting the community lead for meaningful change.
BELONGING
Youth Innovators
Through partnerships in Loudoun County, Virginia, Vine and Fig Tree provides training and support for local businesses to become trauma-informed workplaces. These workplaces allow for current and aged-out foster youth to learn valuable hard and soft skills to not only be employed but also become integral parts of the community.
Vine and Fig Tree also hosts multiple events per year for the youth in the Independent Living program to develop additional life skills.
Lastly, Vine and Fig Tree partners with other community organizations and businesses to bring additional resources and mentorship to the youth.
COMMUNITY
Flourish
Through national partners, Vine and Fig Tree provides training and education in life design for survivors of Human Trafficking and Domestic Violence. In addition to strategies for career advancement and professionalism, the program also walks through topics such as relationship management, dealing with obstacles, and utilizing personal and professional support systems.
To further support our local community and its needs, we have expanded our program to serve local shelter residents and clients for the unhoused and under or unemployed.
