The mission of the North Ward Center is to strengthen our community by creating educational opportunities, bolstering the health and well being of families and improving the quality of life for all residents. Our operating principle is to offer fiscally responsible programs that build the foundation for an economically viable community.
Newark Opportunity Youth Network launched in 2016 with a multi-pronged approach to improving outcomes for opportunity youth in our community - and across New Jersey. To execute this mission, our network is comprised of four key elements: Education, Workforce Development, Policy Advocacy, and Systems Building. Every city and region is unique, but when this approach is localized to a particular community's needs, only then, can large-scale, sustainable impact for opportunity youth become possible.
