Before Tavorean Johnson came to Louisiana Green Corps, he was working at a chain store and, in his words, “didn’t have [a] career plan.”

Today, he works for Rotolo Consultants, Inc. (RCI), where his days have included everything from irrigation and landscaping to traveling across Louisiana and neighboring states for projects. He is learning new skills, taking on more responsibility and already thinking about what comes next.

“I made so much progress in life,” Johnson told me. “I’m a whole new person now. I leveled up.”
