"I am very thankful to have been a part of Safe Schools for 12+ years during my time in the Utica City School District, and now even in my adult life, whenever I needed counseling, job preparation you name it, safe schools was there for not only me but hundreds of other students. I would like to thank the agency for making an investment into my life and success." - Giovanni Harvey, Proctor High School Graduate
