Daniel Francavilla, the founder and president of ACCESS, believes this move will be a key factor in moving the organization's programs forward:
This is an exciting time for us as a youth-run, non-profit organization. The office will help us excel and grow significantly over the next year and a half. We are looking forward to being a part of the passionate and positive network that this location offers.
