Description
Philly Goat Project (PGP) started in 2018 and is located at the Farm at Awbury Arboretum. PGP was started by Karen Krivit, a community focused social worker and her daughter, Lily Sage a funeral director specializing in environmental justice. PGP has detailed information on their Volunteer tab on their website about expectations and roles. PGP provides many free community based programs on a regular basis where their small herd of well trained goats are the catalyst for activities such as walks in parks, reading at libraries, animal assisted therapy and a community teen job training program. More information about activities can be found on the PGP website.
