⭐️ Our School To Work programs' End-of-Year Ceremony at Utica University was one of the biggest yet. Every achievement matters. Every step forward is worth celebrating. And every student has an accomplishment to be proud of. Congratulations to all!

🖤 ❤️ 💚Our Arnold Ave. Day Program proudly hosted an inclusive and meaningful Juneteenth celebration, bringing people together to honor freedom, reflect on history, and celebrate culture, unity, and community.

On June 19, 1936, the Hall of Negro Life opened at the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas. Inside hung Aaron Douglas's powerful piece, Into Bo***ge, one of four murals tracing the journey of African Americans from the transatlantic slave trade toward freedom.

This Juneteenth, we showcase a recreation of Into Bo***ge by artists in our Fine Arc at The Arc, Oneida-Lewis program, in tribute to Douglas, as we celebrate Juneteenth and commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.

We honor the strength, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans and reaffirm our commitment to building a more inclusive future.

🎥 Here's a behind-the-scenes peek at an inspiring story. Spectrum News will soon air a feature on Mikayla Gadz, highlighting her journey from a student in our award-winning School to Work program to her current career and future aspirations. Stay tuned!

💚🧡💛❤️ Today is Autistic Pride Day! Not a day for awareness, but one for people to embrace and celebrate their identity. You deserve acceptance, accommodation, and community today, and every day.
