Mentoring Fair

Have you considered being a mentor? Do you want to become a positive influence in a young person's life? On January 29, 2013, the Newark Mentoring Movement is hosting a Mentor Fair at Rutgers University from 12-4pm at the Paul Robeson Center (350 MLK Blvd). There are 15 mentoring programs, effecting over 300 youth, that are participating, and each program is looking to recruit new mentors.

Participating mentoring organizations include:
Eagle Academy
Great Oaks Charter
Newark Educators Community Charter School
Leaders for Life
Newark Chess Club
Supporting our Sisters
Stop Shootin', Inc.
YouthBuild Newark
CASA Essex
God's Promise Community Development Center

The event will have mac + cheese samples from the Elbow Room and raffles for Barnum and Bailey tickets to individuals that sign up to mentor!

Established in 2012, the Newark Mentoring Movement's vision is to expand mentorship to reach 10,000 youths annually in Newark by 2017. Though they are not a direct service organization, they are a collaborative effort. They work with mentoring programs in Newark to share best practices in mentoring, and work with local programs to expand their efforts. In the future, we will bring in nationally established programs to Newark. The Newark Mentoring Movement will work to match you with a program that is a right fit for you.
