The thing I learned most at Silberman was how to bring my full self into the work. Regardless of the population being served or problem being addressed, my time at Silberman taught me how to use my own authenticity and lived experiences to generate meaningful, high-quality outcomes for clients. — Sam Guzzardi, MSW; Director of Social Work, Coney Island Preparatory Charter Schools
