Multicultural Refugee Coalition
New Leaf Agriculture offers refugees from traditional farming cultures the chance to reconnect and grow in a trade that they are already passionate about. Volunteers help the refugee farm crew in building out our twelve-acre regenerative farm. You might do a variety of tasks such as creating farm pathways, establishing cover crops, forming new beds, harvesting, and many other things while working alongside our New Leaf crew.

Multicultural Refugee Coalition (MRC) creates livelihood opportunities for refugees.
MRC blends skills-based education with social entrepreneurship to connect refugees to dignified, fair-wage work in Austin. We operate a commercial farm and sewing studio.
Open Arms Studio is a textile manufacturer employing refugees at a fair wage in Austin, Texas, through advanced sewing training and fair-wage employment. New Leaf Agriculture connects refugee families to the land, both by matching them to community garden plots and employing skilled farmers at our local commercial farm.
We'll work with your schedule.
