“The Nick Curriculum has helped me see who I want to be in the future. It helped me understand more about life and expanded my vocabulary. Without the Nick I have no idea if I would have the same expectations on my life that I do now, I’m extremely thankful and extremely appreciative that I had the chance and the experience to be part of this curriculum.” -Student from East Harlem, NYC
