Junior Street Leader Program

UrbanPromise Trenton piloted the Junior Street Leader Program for 14-16 year olds through a THDC grant in 2015, and expanded it to 19 youth, the majority of them from the THDC neighborhood. They were also able to work with a youth mentor from Rutgers. Students reported a sense of community pride due to participation in community service projects. UrbanPromise has expanded the Street Leaders and Junior Street Leaders model throughout Trenton.
