🎆 Reflecting on Independence: Afterschool and the American Spirit

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, we’re reminded that independence is not just a historical milestone—it’s a shared value we nurture every day. In afterschool programs across the country, young people are exploring their voices, building confidence, and learning how to contribute meaningfully to their communities. This holiday offers a chance to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and the responsibilities we carry to ensure every child has access to safe, enriching opportunities to grow, dream, and lead. Happy Independence Day from all of us at NJSACC.
