Congratulations to Frank Verney, afterschool director at City of West Palm Beach, Coleman Park Community Center who has completed his final class for his Associate of Sciences Degree in Human services – Youth Development!

I am now enrolled in the bachelors program and looking to graduate from that by the end of 2021. I am looking forward to what doors will open and where my journey will take me.”
