Community Testimonials
I've had the privilege of being part of the TLC family for almost twenty years, both as a Board member and sponsor. In that time, I have been continually impressed with the organization's leadership team and their dedicated commitment to improving the lives of the women they serve, all of which has been inspired through the years by the mission and support of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
Dr. Thomas Travis
Board Director of CSJ Learning Connection
As an administrator in the Brentwood school district, I have firsthand knowledge of how engaging and thoughtful the instructors have been and how they’ve continued to engage. The fact that so many of these adults have other occupations or jobs and still manage to come to these classes always impressed me. These programs will always be necessary, and The Learning Connection is one of the best.
Alex Richardson
Former Director of Adult Continuing Education, Brentwood UFSD.
While I have seen the program grow and develop over the years, one thing has remained the same: The stellar quality of their services and the profound caring they demonstrate to the women they serve. TLC has consistently met/exceeded the SED benchmarks for program performance, ranking them as one of the best programs on Long Island. The impact TLC has on the women they serve is life-changing.
