Last week we were so proud to celebrate our amazing Terracorps Community Engagement Coordinator, Grace Rumowicz, as her service term with us has come to an end. Grace has been instrumental to building out our volunteer and educational programming in the Alewife, building organizational capacity, and bringing humor and joy to our day to day life at Green Cambridge! While we will miss her dearly, we are excited see her continue to grow through all her future endeavors.
