  Southern Westchester BOCES’ Adult Literacy Programs rely on strong community partnerships like the one with the Community Resource Center in Mamaroneck, which returned this year after flood damage forced it to close four years ago. A formal grand opening is set for Sept. 15.

  “We are very thankful to have this partnership because they’re one of those partners that’s always happy to help BOCES,” Program Supervisor Maria Guerrero said. “They’re happy to have us offering our educational services there.”
