RESIDENT STORY || Highway City
April Henry
A young adult that lives in our community is an Environmental Sciences student at Fresno State. He & his family often volunteer with us at HCCD and have been proactive leaders in our community. (We helped his younger brother launch his egg business at our center during our pop-up events and worked with him on his business plan). So Erik is now fully invested in our Greenspace project, which after a year, we are finally going to start next week. He got me involved with his program director at State, and now we also have a climate corp team and the horticulture dept involved in what will become a multi-faceted, functionally used area for students to have our annual kids & summer camp, outdoor meetings, and gatherings as well as giving back with a positive impact to our environment through what we plant in native and edible vegetation, bird bush, pollinators, etc. Other students from our area are now involved and this year-long project is a pilot for this dept and for young, local leaders.
We are excited to be part of a new initiative at Fresno State while working with our young people!
