Programs & Impact 2008
"It was life changing. When I look at all of the things I’ve been through in my childhood and what I saw my peers go through, for me to be here is almost a miracle. Last year, I didn’t know where I was going to be. I was born in Newark and it’s good to think I will get a chance to actually work in Newark, to sit back and watch the things I'm helping to build the city.“
