Civicorps 40th Anniversary

Voices of Civicorps

Nita Kirby, Board Chair

Candace Washington, who graduated from Civicorps in 2012, celebrates her graduation from Laney College with her VERY proud husband and daughter, June 2023.

There are many pictures showing Civicorps graduations of corpsmembers with their families. So it’s just not the corpsmember who graduated. It’s the family — they graduated with that corpsmember. It’s just not the corpsmember and the opportunity the corpsmember has been given. Now the family has support. Whether it’s a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, aunt, an uncle… through that experience, through their journey, they’re getting the skills necessary and all the things they need to survive in a world that they have now found themselves in. And then when you have the parents or the family around them, not only is that individual successful, that entire family is now successful. That is just priceless.
