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.
