NECIC has grown over the past ten years to include workforce development through its staffing agency, Temp2Higher, as well as youth mentoring, an elder program, a monthly citizen action meeting to address community concerns, a teaching garden, a farmers’ market, and support for 28 community gardens throughout the county.
