The Center for Sustainable Development
Free Summer Program
Dear All,
During the summer of 2011, The Center for Sustainable Development is seeking to implement a comprehensive Back to College Summer Program specifically designed for the young adults of Newark aged 19 and above.
The Back to College Summer Program represents the cornerstone of the Center’s work with Newark Youths. The model features a six week, three days a week program. Students will be taught Essay Writing, Math and Life Skills. The program is designed to challenge our youth to confront the never ending journey of adulthood and the responsibility of creating our lives by design, not by default.
The program focuses on our youth who have dropped out of high school together with those who have dropped out of college and are looking to get back into college but need some form of educational assistance or a kick up the rear.
The program is designed to prepare our youth to meet the challenges of a college education through a coordinated, progressive series of classroom lectures, activities and experiences which will help them become socially, morally, emotionally, physically, and cognitively competent to successfully withstand the rigors of a two or four year college.
The program will also include a mentor paring partnership initiative; the partnership is designed to equip the mentors and mentees with the tools and skills needed to become an effective mentor mentee paring. This section of the program focuses on encouraging a better understanding of youth culture and trends to assist the adult mentor in developing a sound, productive and fruitful relationship with the mentee.
Registration and more information on the program, an Open House will be held at Room 237, Conklin Hall, University Avenue, Rutgers University, Newark, at 2:00pm prompt.
Date of Open House: June 24th 2011.
Program Start Date: 11th July 2011 and end 18th August 2011.
All participating students will be required to report to Room 313, Bradley Hall, Rutgers University, Newark, at 10:00am prompt on the start day – 11th July 2011.
Respectfully,
Obi C. Ene. ene.obi@gmail.com
