Designed to help bridge the learning gap and offset lost ground in social and emotional learning due to the coronavirus pandemic, approximately junior high and high school students in East Orange, New Jersey were once again offered an opportunity to "earn while they learn" this summer.
Focused on entrepreneurship, civic engagement and mental health, the program completed its second year with a close-out presentation and ceremony at City Hall Plaza dubbed "SWEP-Fest. At the presentation, students displayed their capstone projects, many of which were centered on businesses created during the summer program. In addition to individualized career-based projects, students participated in a group project centered on social justice, civic engagement and community leadership. Last year's project was a student-led peaceful protest demanding justice and the release of unedited video in the case of Maurice Gordon, an unarmed black man who was killed by a New Jersey State Police officer on the Garden State Parkway.
The protest was featured in media outlets throughout the United States and the world. This year's culminating project was the production of a short documentary about gun violence produced with the help of award-winning broadcast journalist and film maker Samson Styles. The film notes that although many cities across the United States have experienced upticks in violent crime over the course of the pandemic, East Orange has not.
I've met with these young men and women and I am committed to working with them to make a difference here in East Orange and beyond.
