Greater Miami Service Corps Marks Success with Graduation

Victor Gaines was not supposed to be here. After serving four years in prison for selling drugs, the Liberty City native was not expected to turn his life around. But he has. Celebrating its 20th year, the Greater Miami Service Corps (GMSC) graduated 51 students alongside Victor with a ceremony taking place in the chambers of the Miami-Dade County Commission. Victor, who earned his Graduation Equivalency Degree (GED) and a construction credential from the National Center for Construction and Education Research while enrolled in Greater Miami Service Corps, is looking to add his name to the GMSC success story roster. Already, he is enrolled at Miami Dade College, studying Business Administration. Learn more about Victor and other recent GMSC alums in the South Florida Times.
