Greencorps Chicago, in partnership with Emerald South Economic Development
Collaborative, is launching the Terra Firma program in the mid-South Side
of Chicago.  Terra Firma will primarily employ residents with barriers to
employment for approximately 30 hours per week from June-December 2021.



Using revenue from adult-use cannabis sales, the State of Illinois created
the R3 Program -*Restore - Reinvest - Renew –* which is funding the launch
of Terra Firma to support communities hardest hit by the failed war on
drugs. Greencorps Chicago (GCC) is background friendly and will hire 40
crew members, 3 crew supervisors, a social service coordinator, and an
administrative assistant to stand up its Community Assistance Program,
which was shuttered in 2011.  The Terra Firma program will train
individuals in a variety of environmental skills and certifications,
provide hands-on experience installing and caring for landscapes across the
mid-South Side, and support personal growth with life skills training and
connection to other important services. All applicants will submit to a
background check as well as entry and random drug screenings.



Priority will be given to residents in the following communities: Grand
Boulevard; Kenwood; Hyde Park; Oakland; Douglas; Washington Park; Woodlawn;
Greater Grand Crossing; South Shore; and South Chicago.



Please forward this email and distribute these job announcements far and
wide.  Positions begin in June!



Thanks very much for your support.
