Last year, I did another term of service out in California with a different AmeriCorps program called American Conservation Experience. I loved being out west in California; the whole experience was very out-of-body for me, a huge change of pace, etc. but I did not gel and get along with many of my colleagues for a variety of reasons, many of which were my fault. I feel like Green City Force has allowed me to fulfill my redemption arc with AmeriCorps and set things straight on the right path. I’ve loved working at Wagner with my whole team, led by Chastidy, Best Service Coordinator Ever! Being at GCF has allowed me to continue exploring my interest with agriculture, growing my own food and just working outdoors that was sparked by the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Five years later, I’m a completely different person and for the better.
