Our @queenscjc recently moved & is planning a new office in the Rockaways. The program is dedicated to supporting people both in and outside the justice system, providing a range of services and opportunities for civic engagement for people of all ages. https://t.co/33DJZT0FeA
Today's ribbon cutting ceremony for the expansion of @queenscjc is a milestone victory for our borough and represents key investment in a fairer justice system.
We applaud the Center’s work to break the cycle of despair, offer hope, and help build thriving communities.
