The JCPL Adult Learning Center is Proud to be Part of Welcoming Week 2023
Welcoming Week is an annual celebration and campaign organized by Welcoming America that encourages communities to be welcoming places for all residents, including immigrants, despite differences in backgrounds. From September 8-17, the Adult Learning Center’s goal is to consciously help our neighbors feel seen, welcome and included in our community.
No matter where you are from, we are glad you are here!
