To me, PowerCorpsPHL means family and growth. PowerCorps provides paths to successful careers and opportunities that you never thought you’d have the chance to experience. They supply you with knowledge outside a career as well. I have achieved a successful career in Land Surveying and I was able to get a house using what I learned through the workshop they offered on building credit. If you get the chance to go through PowerCorpsPHL, take advantage of every opportunity and workshop, down to the Fellowships. You also have to apply yourself and show them you want it for yourself and your family.
