Testimonials
- An 11-year-old from Wynantskill Way, has been going to Sunnyside after
school and in the summer for eight years. The boy said he has learned a
great deal at the center and that he has practically grown up there. -- "I
like Sunnyside because they treat you fairly," he said. "If you do something
bad, they ask you why you did it, and they give you a chance to tell your
side of the story."
- A 9-year-old Ninth Street girl has been going to Sunnyside after school
since January. Her father is in jail. She lives with her mother and her
step-father. -- "It’s good because you get to play games and go in the
reading room," she said. "When it’s really nice, we go outside and play."
