Vit Plant team members serve as classroom volunteers around the Tri-Cities. Together, they impact more than 11,000 students in the southeastern Washington area by getting into classrooms to teach children real-world business skills such as how to generate and manage wealth, how to create jobs that cultivate their communities, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students turn their lessons into actions and learn the value of contributing back to their communities.
