The centers are a resource for students and parents to learn more about the college application process, skills for successful adaptation to college life, and identifying the best college opportunities available. The Youth Media Symposium is made up of a diverse and established group of Newark youth visionaries in 9th -12th grade, and a “graduate chapter” now in colleges throughout the area, who h

ave developed their collective voice to fashion innovative solutions to improve college readiness in the city of Newark. In partnership with ALI and various community collaborators, YMS will create 10 College Success Centers throughout Newark, NJ designed to help students gain access to college and career options, and inspire them to take control over their future through the pursuit of higher education. The centers will provide college and career preparation peer support, college application assistance, workshops and post-secondary planning courses, computer access, college tours and resources to empower students to take control of their college and career paths.

A decade of impact. So many lives transformed. Countless futures changed. What started as a bold vision by YMS students in 2013 became a movement that reshaped how Newark supports its youth’s post secondary planning. When progress stalled, YMS didn’t wait—we took action, secured funding, and opened the first few College Success Centers in 2015. Now, 10 years later, our CSCs have helped students become engineers, nurses, educators, and leaders. Today, we celebrate this milestone and the power of youth-led change. Thank you, Essex County Commissioner A’Dorian Murray-Thomas, A'Dorian Murray-Thomas for recognizing this work and the ongoing legacy of the YMS College Success Centers!
