MISSION: To enrich and empower our nation's youth, parents, educators and leaders with special attention to "at-risk" populations through grant-funded programs and services. NENI focuses on education, economic empowerment, critical human needs, and cultural enrichment.

Journalism/Literacy: Pilot journalism /literary magazine program for a 5th grade troop of Girl Scouts in Middlesex County, NJ. This was held virtually, right after the initial COVID19 shutdown for Spring Break 2020. The curriculum was developed by NENI President Dana Wilson (in partnership with C. Ron Allen). Mr. Allen is the Editor-in-Chief of the Boca Raton Tribune in FL and the Executive Director of KOP Mentoring Network, a character-building, mentorship and gang prevention non-profit designed to foster leadership, academic success and civic-mindedness in youth ages 7 to 17.). The journalism project has now blossomed into a weekly news program produced by predominately minority youth. Check it out here: KOP Mentoring Network - Community Conversations (kopmn.org)
