We’ve formed a Youth Development & Engagement Working Group comprised of community members and stakeholders that will meet regularly to discuss strategies to help make the vision and goals outlined in our plan a reality. To receive notifications of upcoming meetings, please contact us to be added to our mailing list or follow the Northeast Wilmington Blueprint Community on Facebook!
Vision
A community that nurtures its youth! A community that captures the imagination of the community youth and increases their participation in more varied programs and opportunities; and engages them in the community in positive ways.
Goals
- Coordinate existing youth activities through collaborations and partnerships.
Increase student educational attainment through after-school tutoring, college and career guidance, and parent engagement training. - Provide opportunities and more varied experiences for community youth that introduce them to new ideas, develop skills/provide job opportunities and increase positive youth involvement in the community.
- Encourage summer and weekend programs that connect students from the Northeast who attend school outside of the City.
