What a great day at the AECC! ☀️

A huge thank you to the Newark STEADY Work Program for building a brand-new GaGa Ball Pit in our courtyard just in time for summer.

The fun didn’t stop there. Our students joined forces with our friends from Wayne ARC to add some color and personality, turning it into a true community project. 🎨🤝🏾

This was a perfect example of what happens when people come together to make something special. The result is a vibrant addition to our center for our young people to enjoy all summer long. 🙌🏾

Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen. Teamwork does indeed make the dream work!
