Word of mouth can be very effective for promoting business, events, or even getting the community together. During my GCF term I spoke to NYCHA residents, connected with bankers, and my Corps Members and I have learned and bestowed information. GCF helped me get over the fear of networking by helping me realize there is a whole world out there that is always moving. In GCF these informative conversations taught me that direct word of mouth information is one of the most effective ways for sharing information and promotion. I would like to thank a dear friend of mine that is a GCF graduate, Avonis Sam, who gave me the opportunity to learn more from GCF about the workforce. I also would like to thank Career Services for all the resources they gave us during our term, to help us prepare for the world ahead of us. Giving back to the community helped me have a love for the agricultural impact it gives – it’s always a blessing to help residents or anyone that comes to our farm stands. Thanks to the love and support of my teammates and my Service Coordinators and the splendid educational journey we had.
