Care Force is excited to announce the arrival of Team Care Force # 3!
Team Care Force (TCF) is two months into their Senior Corps Member year, where they are based out of City Year’s Headquarters for Idealism in Boston. Less than six days into their journey, they were already in the air traveling to new and exciting places for their very first Care Force service events. Half of the team flew 358 miles to Baltimore, Maryland, while the other half flew 1,643 miles to Wichita, Kansas, where they joined up with 3 former TCF members, Alice, Amy, and David. There may have been some bumps and bruises (both figuratively and literally) that came along with the first trips, but all in all, the events were a great success! Since then, they have had the opportunity to travel to Indiana, Maine, Missouri, Washington, and are currently in Toronto and South Carolina.
The team is comprised of seven youthful, energetic, and excited Senior Corps Members, affectionately nicknamed the “River Guides of Idealism”. These “River Guides” are ready and willing to steer volunteers in the right direction in order to have successful and rewarding experiences through their service events. The liveliest team member is Cautchy Bailly at 18 years old. He served in City Year Boston last year as a corps member on a Whole School Whole Child (WSWC) team. The second senior corps member is Kimberly Ferguson, a 22 year old from Tennessee, who also served on a WSWC team in the City Year Boston corps last year. Next up is JoAnne Sylvia who just turned 23 years old and served in the founding City Year Miami corps as a corps member on the Civic Engagement and Young Heroes Team. Susan Bensen, a 23 year old, comes to the team from City Year Greater Philadelphia where she served as a corps member on a high school WSWC team. Grant Hooper is also 23 years old and joined the team all the way from San Antonio, Texas, where he served as a first year senior corps member for the City Year San Antonio Civic Engagement Team. The sixth senior corps member on Team Care Force is Andrew Duffy, a 24 year old who served in City Year Boston on the Young Heroes Team. The final member of Team Care Force is Ken Wakwe, who is 24 years old and comes to us after being a first year senior corps member of a WSWC team out of Little Rock, Arkansas.
The team is incredibly excited for the upcoming year; so please, join us here to read about Team Care Force, their service, and all the volunteers that make a difference in our communities. We will also be going more in depth about each member of Team Care Force so you can learn about what makes each of them tick. You may even be in for a surprise or two! We hope that you may be inspired to build a bench or paint a mural in your own local neighborhood. Thank you for all of your support, and we will “e-see” you soon!
