Alistar's Story

Sep 12, 2023

Alister's formative years were marked by his active involvement in the childcare and after-school program at our Bushwick Community Center. This program played a pivotal role in shaping his character and fostering his self-assurance. As time passed, Alister's experiences within our program helped him realized he wanted to assist others in realizing their inherent talents and gifts. Today, he leads the very same GAINS program that once nurtured his own growth.

Alister's transformation into a leader of our program is a testament to his commitment to community development and the empowerment of young minds. His journey from program participant to program leader symbolizes the full circle of growth that our community strives to cultivate.
