“I am so proud of the work the Center does and how we’ve grown in the past year to better support our staff and you – our community. 2021 was a year of internal reflection for us: we talked about what we do, why we do it, and how we do it. This year, we are putting those reflections and plans into action and it’s so exciting to be here at the start of our new growth.”
Zoraya Hightower, Executive Director
