Forward Momentum

Civicorps is proud to participate in Oakland Forward, a job corps program launched by CalVolunteers in 2022.  This spring, Oakland Forward produced a video featuring several grantee organizations for local TV station KTOP.  When we were offered the opportunity to showcase not only the Corps but a Corpsmember, of course we sprang into action!

We asked our outstanding Operations Intern Anrice Murcia to step into the spotlight….and step in and step up he did!  Anrice appears several times throughout the 6-minute video.  His poise, knowledge, and confidence truly shine through!  Here’s a video excerpt:

 

 

Anrice’s star turn subsequently earned him a spot at Mayor Thao’s Oakland Youth Jobs Roundtable, alongside Josh Fryday, CalVolunteers’ Chief Service Officer (photo above). Appearing at the Mayor’s Youth Jobs Roundtable and starring in a video was all in a day’s work for Anrice.  We love watching him grow into such a confident and compelling voice for our movement.

We are so proud of Anrice and thankful that Civicorps was able to be a part of a chapter in his life. As he advances in his career, we look forward to witnessing his continued growth and success.
