NJSACC Highlights Dr. Dawn Stokes-Tyler For Shining in the Field!

Dr. Dawn Stokes-Tyler
Supervisor of Staff Development
East Orange School District

writes: “Growing up, there were no afterschool programs in my neighborhood, and when one finally became available, my parents couldn’t afford it. I always wished for a safe, supportive space to go after school — a place to learn and grow.

That experience fuels my passion today. Now, I find joy in providing free, high-quality afterschool programs for students in our community, ensuring every child has the opportunity I didn’t.”
