Congratulations to our GreenWorks 2nd Cohort on completing the very first GreenWorks Program!

This group worked through the heat, the rain, and every challenge that comes with working outside. You showed up, stayed committed, worked together, and got the job done.

Along the way, you learned more than just how to cut grass. You learned teamwork, responsibility, communication, and confidence by going door to door, talking to people you didn’t know, and earning your money through hard work.

We’re proud of every one of you for staying busy, staying productive, and trusting the process. Hopefully, this experience showed you that hard work pays off and that there’s value in learning a skill and putting it to work.

This is only the beginning. Be on the lookout for more youth programs and opportunities from Cole’s Foundation Inc. and Hope By Hope as we continue creating opportunities for young people in our community.

Mr. Chauncey started the day asking the kids, Is It hot ?” trying to teach that mind-over-matter mindset on a 93-degree GreenWorks workday.

Few hours later, even he had to admit defeat: it’s hot and sometimes you can’t beat the heat, you have to respect it.

Yesterday was a real lesson: stay hydrated, stay fueled up, take breaks when needed, and keep pushing smart. GreenWorks is teaching these young men the hustle, determination, discipline, and how to take on adversity while still getting the job done.

Cohort 2 was in action today as we continue expanding the GreenWorks Summer Youth Program from 12 to 24 youth.

This program is about more than cutting grass. We’re helping build hustle, grit, passion, work ethic, and life skills that can always put money in their pockets — whether they choose to make it a full-time business or a side hustle.
This is only half of the cohort shown — the Tuesday crew.

Please continue to book services and support GreenWorks so we can keep these young men busy, productive, interested, and learning the value of hard work.

4th job on the Sunday recap 🌱💪🏾

By this point, the young men were tired but still locked in. That’s what the Cole’s Foundation Inc. x Hope By Hope GreenWorks Summer Program is all about — teaching them how to push through, work as a team, finish strong, and take pride in earning their money the right way.

From the back of the Durango to yard after yard, these young entrepreneurs are building work ethic one cut at a time.
