With each end there is a new beginning, and we hope that you will join us in welcoming two new members to the PowerCorpsPHL family, Daniel Lawson and Daniel Steele Brown. (Or, "The Dans" as they are affectionately known in the office.)

Nic Esposito filled such a big niche within the framework of PowerCorpsPHL that we had to find two people to adequately replace him. However, we are positive that The Dans are up to the job. Both of them come to us from backgrounds in service: Mr. Lawson was previously the Senior Civic Engagement Program Manager for City Year in Washington D.C. where he coordinated extensive community service events, and Mr. Brown was the Community Service Supervisor for The Work Group in Pennsauken, N.J. overseeing volunteer operations. We're happy to point out that both men served with AmeriCorps, just as all of our team members do.

In their capacities as Program Managers with PowerCorpsPHL, The Dans will be responsible for the daily service projects of our crews serving with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. They'll design and coordinate service projects for our corps members to execute, as well as organizing professional development and technical skills training opportunities to prepare team members to join the workforce. We're very excited to have these two gentlemen join our team and are looking forward to see how they carve out space for themselves as Program Managers.
