A Word

From Our Governor

“NYDKC, you are a force that cannot messed with. It is so incredible to be able to work along side such a passionate, inspiring, and driven group of student leaders. Your work is amazing and even if it just means helping just one person, it could mean the world to that one person. So continue to serve our home, schools, and communities. Make an impact and make your mark on the world.”
