Cohort 16

Jesus Lagares


When I see the Green City Force logo, it is a symbol of prosperity. That’s one of the reasons why I chose to join Green City Force. This program gives those in NYCHA developments a chance to find success and opens you to something new by getting you out of your comfort zone. Before joining GCF I was somewhat in my comfort zone, just waiting for something great to happen while not really doing much. Now, I wake up every day challenging myself to become great, forcing myself to try new things and take risks, no matter the outcome as long as I tried. I’d like to thank the staff and my team for helping me along the way by giving me advice and being there for me when I needed them. My plans after Green City Force are to continue trying out different things and strive for prosperity.

To my employer: I have proven to be a consistently hard worker on the farms.
