The Phoenix Center welcomed alumni back together for a special Alumni Night at Shannon Rose in Clifton. The evening brought together graduates from 2015 through the present, creating an opportunity to reconnect with friends, share experiences, and continue building the relationships that began during their time at The Phoenix Center.
As part of our Graduate Support Program, Alumni Night is designed to help former students strengthen social and communication skills while fostering independence in a supportive community setting. These gatherings provide meaningful opportunities for alumni to stay connected, practice real-world interactions, and enjoy a fun night out with peers and staff who have been part of their journey.
One of the most rewarding aspects of Alumni Night is seeing the lasting impact of the connections formed at The Phoenix Center. Watching alumni reconnect, support one another, and celebrate how far they have come is a reminder that our commitment to students extends well beyond graduation.
We are proud to offer programs that help young adults and their families navigate the transition to adulthood while continuing to build confidence, independence, and community.
This special event was recently featured by both Patch and the June 2026 edition of the Nutley Journal.
