Overview

Mission

To bridge communities and build relationships through educational & cultural enrichment for children of the greater newark area. This is achieved through after school tutoring programs and camps: sceep, day camps and overnight summer camps.

What it reported doing in 2012

Sceep: suburban cultural educational and enrichment program is one of the largest one-to-one volunteer, tutoring and mentoring programs in the state. Sceep links a disadvantaged child with a volunteer for a period of four years. Most of the tutoring programs are in suburban locations at houses of worship or in major corporations such as novartis and pse&g. A good amount of these locations are locations that are foreign to many of newark's children. Sceep affords them the opportunity to see places and possibilities that they never knew existed. The sceep program transports 250 students weekly from 11 newark public schools to 15 tutoring sites throughout New Jersey. Pcci works with 320 volunteers annually, bridging urban & suburban communities to assist newark children in need and support them in successfully accessing sound literacy and learning skills. Research shows that 85% of the children participating in sceep raise their math and/or literacy grades.
