NewForce was an amazing opportunity to learn a new skill set in a relatively short amount of time. The fact that it was free was icing on the cake! My favorite part was realizing just how much I could learn in 6 months, and gaining life-long friends and connections.
Generation West Virginia’s Fellowship has given me the opportunity to do work that I love and forge meaningful connections within my new community, making the Mountain State my home.
Being a GWV Fellow gave me a sense of acceptance among a group of peers who were doing the same thing around the state. The Fellowship has filled a need for friendship, companionship, and togetherness while also providing me with a connection to community through volunteering.
