In 2006, NJCDC founded the Paterson Youth Council (PYC) to empower Paterson teens in civic affairs. Fifteen years ago, a high school student by the name of Christian Callegari joined PYC and became PYC President. Today, he's NJCDC's newest Board of Trustees member. Welcome back, Christian! We're glad to have you on board. Read more about Christian in our blog: https://lnkd.in/eSrv_bkh #youthleadership #patersonyouth #SuccessStory

Every Saturday children join our free soccer program of over 100 registered students, through our NHC Neighborhood Help Center. Coach Agostino Feola Sr. shares, "When you teach, you have to have it in your heart. From the heart, you have to have the patience, and from patience, you need the teaching skills." Coach Feola Sr., along with Coach Luis Garcia and our amazing NJCDC volunteers, dedicate their Saturday mornings to teaching kids the sport of soccer, step by step. Thank you for making this program such a success! ❤️ #NJCDC #Community #YouthDevelopment

#PatersonNJ teens who participated in the City Planning Institute, a two-week summer program, presented their plans for the city at our headquarters. This program introduces students to the field of City Planning as a potential career and new ways to think about their neighborhoods. For their final project, students created a redevelopment plan featuring more trash bins, night lights at the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, zip lining, city bikes, and so much more! NJCDC is a proud sponsor of the City Planning Institute, empowering the next generation to shape their communities. #CityPlanning #FuturePlanners #NJCDC
