Youth Corps Travels to Lowell, MA

On July 9th, members of the Great Falls Youth Corps trekked to Lowell, Massachusetts—to see first hand what an urban National Park looks like, learn about industrial history, and see first hand how it can help revitalize a city.  More importantly, Paterson youth engaged their national compatriots in a series of activities, games, and shared learning designed to unite the two Youth Corps programs. This experience helped give the Great Falls Youth Corps a foundation for the types of programming and projects they can help implement here in Paterson.

On August 11, 2009, Birch Arms hosted a celebration organized by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities to celebrate the 4000th solar installation in the state of New Jersey.
