Do you want to help an urban student - Be a Mentor or a Partner - (Newark or Jersey City)!

We are looking for mentors to coach motivated urban high school students from Newark and Jersey City. Mentored youth have significantly better chances for high school graduation and college acceptance, thereby significantly increasing life's opportunities. You can make a huge difference in someone's life!!

Currently we need mentors at our partner schools:

Hudson Catholic High School in Jersey City

St. Benedict's Prep, Girls Division in Newark

St. Vincent Academy in Newark

S/PA organizes a few in person mentor/mentee events per year either at the schools or other locations, such as, field trips to Liberty Science Center, Newark Art Museum, Winter Party at Seton Hall University, etc. Other opportunities to interact include webinars on topics such as: Financial Literacy, College Planning, and Resume Building. We also encourage texting, emailing and talking on the phone as much as you can.

Note: A Partner is a Mentor who also sponsors the student by donating $3,500 per year for four years to fund the student's scholarship.
