This is a great thing. Ms. Maria and Mr. Stafford really deserve this honor. All of my children went to this camp. There were times when you just needed a little help Me. Maria always had an encouraging words to share. They were there for our kids and they were their for us. They have been a blessing to our community, and we love them. Thank you both for your contribution to my family

Thank you Amy Allen! This is way overdue for Ms. Maria and Mr. Stafford! I attended Northside Forces/Camp YDP Afterschool and Summer Programs and I have so many wonderful childhood memories of cultural field trips, swims at the beaches and pools, Camp Aldersgate... Yes, Let's make this happen Paterson!

I spent most of my childhood afternoons and summer days at Northside Forces and Camp YDP . The programs ran by Maria and Stafford made a huge impact in my life. I gained valuable work knowledge, training and learned the value of giving back. Forty (plus) years and two professional degrees later I credit my success to Maria and Stafford for instilling the value and a love of learning in me.

Yes! they truly deserve it. They are the founders of Camp YDP and should be honored for the over thirty years of service to the community.

This is so wonderful to have the name change to their name. They desire to have the street name after them.

Both of these individuals deserve this recognition. They did a lot for the children of the 1st Ward and throughout Paterson.

I am so grateful for Mrs. Maria and Mr Stafford Miller. They taught us more than education. We got nature, nurturing, discipline, religion. We learned cultures. Listen , as the kids say, "My childhood was lit"!!! My children even experienced them. I just want to publicly say "Thank you for giving me a lifetime of learning and friends. I love you both, very much".
