On Sunday afternoon, a happy group from Civicorps gathered at the annual Bay Nature Local Hero Awards in Berkeley.
Civicorps’ very own Conservation Crew Supervisor Naji Lockett received the Young Leader Award in recognition of his commitment to conservation. This award celebrates “an environmental leader, 25 years old or younger, who is making significant contributions towards understanding, conserving, and/or connecting people to the natural world of the Bay Area.”
We are deeply honored by Bay Nature’s decision to recognize Naji’s leadership. And of course, we couldn’t agree more that he is uber award-worthy! Leading our Corpsmembers, he reminds them that “you’re making a big difference doing this type of work, for the safety of others and the earth.”
We are so proud of Naji and happy that Civicorps can equip young adults like Naji with paid job training and coaching support as they pursue their career pathways. In this beautiful instance, that pathway has led to a job at Civicorps itself.
