Green City Force has meant a lot to me because it gave me the chance to grow, learn new skills, and give back to my community at the same time. I chose to become a Corps Member because I wanted to better myself while setting an example for the youth coming after me in Ravenswood. Before GCF, I was focused on trying to figure out my next steps, but this program gave me structure, purpose, and hands-on experience in fields like solar, sustainability, and community service. The most important thing I’ve learned here is that leadership isn’t just about titles, it’s about service, teamwork, and pushing through challenges together. I also want to thank the staff and my fellow Corps Members for their support and encouragement throughout this journey. GCF has prepared me for my future goals, like becoming a firefighter and building a nonprofit to help guide young people toward success.
