Breevort Seniors In Their Own Words
Employee Highlight
John Herring
Instructor, Adult Education Literacy
At last month’s ESL Graduation ceremony, John shared how proud he is of RiseBoro’s Adult Education program. To him, it’s a place where people move past their fears and make space to grow. “It’s more than just learning,” he said. “For me, it’s about making friends and finding family in this incredible community.” He sees the program as a journey toward confidence, where small steps slowly build into something bigger, opening up new possibilities and helping students take control of their futures.
In Our Community, For Good
CBS Interview
Thank you to CBS News New York for taking the time to speak with our CEO, Kieran Harrington, about the challenges so many older adults face with digital literacy.
Access to technology and the skills to use it can change lives, and we’re committed to helping our seniors stay connected, confident, and informed in a world that’s always online.
100 Years in the Community
The RiseBoro Team had the honor of celebrating this very special milestone with a member of our community, and Assemblywoman Maritza Dávila presented a special gift in honor of Mrs. Jacinta’s 100th birthday!
We were proud to celebrate this incredible person and her loved ones at 78 Troutman to mark a century of life, love, and legacy.
