Demetrius Morgan made it out. Now he has made his way back in.

Morgan is a product of Alton Park. He knows the community. And what he knows about it is a big reason why he’s back. He recently accepted a job at the Bethlehem Center, where he’s heading up its new sports program.

“We’re excited just to have him on board,” said Gloria Dubose, the community center’s marketing and projects manager. “Just his passion for working with youth is amazing. He’s given us even more of an opportunity to connect with the youth in this community. He’s really intent about staying connected with them through this sports program. We’re so excited to see this program grow and flourish.”
