GE XLP Volunteer Trip to Puerto Rico

On September 20th, 2017 Hurricane Maria, one of the deadliest hurricanes to ever hit the Atlantic region, made landfall in Puerto Rico with winds exceeding 150 MPH. The storm destroyed neighborhoods and knocked out power across the entire island, in some cases for 10 months after the storm. This past July, third year members of GE’s Accelerated Leadership Program (XLP) travelled to Puerto Rico to participate in the on-going recovery efforts. The 73 employees arrived on the island with one goal: help rebuild the community with their head, hands and heart.
