DYCD Commissioner Visits ACE Program

ACE participants with Cmmr. Mullgrav and OSY Director Keenan

NYC Department of Youth and Community Development Commissioner Jeanne B. Mullgrav  and Megan Keenan, Director of DYCD’s Out-of-School Youth (OSY) program visited the the NY Center's ACE Program on July 23 to meet and observe our students during one of their work-readiness training sessions. Students enjoyed sharing their lively discussion and skill-building session with the visitors.

Young people 17-21 enroll in ACE to earn their GED, master work readiness skills, and plan their future. Staff help them turn their plans into reality.

Thank you, Commissioner Mullgrav and Ms. Keenan, for taking the time out of your busy schedules to witness our students in action as they take tangible steps to learn new skills for their future.
