It's so important to have organizations like PowerCorps, who are training the next farmers of America, training the next horticulturalists of America. There's so much that is great about what PowerCorps is doing and we need them. We need them to continue. Ten years down and a lifetime to go!

The breadth of knowledge, insight and experience from the PowerCorpsPHL staff was critical to the success of our workforce development program here in Buffalo, NY. Without their expert guidance and technical assistance, I am convinced that we would not be where we are today.

One of PowerCorps's strengths is how much its alumni reinvest into its mission and the people going through it. PowerCorps has been demonstrating the impact of complementing lived experience with structured trainings as a way to really connect with and lift other people up.

Thank you so much for all the tremendous support PowerCorps provided at Stinger Square for Love Your Park on Saturday. It was wonderful to have the PowerCorps crews present and so engaged in caring for the park and completing all the tasks. We at PPR are so grateful for your continued care & support of Philadelphia’s park spaces. Please share our appreciation with each of the crew members.

PowerCorpsPHL was able to give us a 10-year head start in terms of understanding the field and the landscape of things in our City. We had an ill cheat sheet to start.

If you get one or two people to change the course of their lives, think about how many generations will follow them. That's the win. And that is where I see PowerCorps doing such amazing work. They are taking it one person at a time. They are giving individual attention to everyone in their cohorts.

Partnering with PowerCorp has been invaluable. We at Novick Urban Farm have been very fortunate to work with several cohorts who have helped us to establish and maintain our growing space. What would take our small team weeks to do, turns into just a few days of labor with the assistance of enthusiastic young people looking to learn and work hard.
