State Senator Benjie E. Wimberly; LD-35

Director of Recreation
City of Paterson

writes: “Afterschool and OST professionals get my full support. NJSACC is essential for our youth and families. As a recreation administrator, I personally see the impact of afterschool programs.I worked in recreation as a teenager, and when I became a college student, I continued working in the field.

My legacy will be the young folks that are behind me, the workers that were once campers that worked for me. We’ve had doctors, lawyers, professional athletes, and educators work through our recreation programs. It’s pretty amazing to see the impact we’ve had on so many lives. From Victor Cruz to Essence Carson, many individuals who started as campers in our programs have gone on to achieve success in various fields.”
