Hello
My name is Rebecca Nuñez, and I am a parent of Akoma Unity Center.
I am in support of Akoma Unity Center and its lease renewal. Akoma has had a meaningful
impact on my scholars and my household by providing accessible programs like Digital Arts,
3D Printing, Coding, Robotics, Hydroponics, Aquaponics, Teen Mental Health. Every
Saturday my children look forward to attending this program and after I pick them up they are
thrilled to tell me all the new things they have learned. My kids feel safe at Akoma, this
program builds their confidence and expands their voices through civic engagement.
I am so grateful a program like this exist is my community. Where instead of doing regular
academic work like they do in school, they are able to engage in fun meaningful activities and
lessons that will benefit them in the future. I would definitely consider this a place where
scholars can unite and enrich their lives.
I strongly urge you to support the continuation of Akoma Unity Center’s lease so that it can
continue serving scholars and strengthening our community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Rebecca Nuñez
