Plant tours can take place around lunch or after work, depending on the plant’s schedule and traffic conditions. Contact our Program Coordinators, Lauren Romano or Stephanie Strada-Young, to volunteer.

Communications with our members have been dramatically improved through email and the positive feedback is overwhelming.
