PITTSFIELD — Davon Young wants to be an environmental scientist someday, but he didn’t really know what it was like to hold a job until now.

“This is my first job,” said Davon, 15. “It’s taught me cultural skills and how to talk to other people. It’s taught me how to be responsible, waking up in the morning and getting there on time. Making sure everything is good and all right.” Read more about Red Shirt Farm.>>
