Green City Force has been an inspiring place where people can be themselves while learning valuable skills in urban agriculture. I joined GCF because I wanted to experience growing crops and giving back to the community. This work gives me energy and purpose, knowing I’m helping others in a meaningful way. My goal was not only to find a job but also to grow as a person—learning, connecting, and serving in ways that will guide me throughout life. Before GCF, I was searching for opportunities to better myself, and I’m grateful I found a program that develops and supports its members. GCF has taught me how important it is to work as a team and to serve my community, lessons that make the work more rewarding and effective. I would like to thank Kawon, Aliyah, and Stefaun for pushing me to reach higher. Their support has encouraged me to keep learning while also teaching others. My time with GCF has shown me the power of teamwork, dedication, and service, and I will carry these lessons with me into the future.
