The Abbott Leadership Institute has empowered parents, students, educators and community advocates through information about public school reform, and knowledge of effective methods of family engagement in schools. Over the last 16 years, we have educated over 4,500 people through our classes, mostly Newark residents.


Through the Youth Media Symposium (YMS) we build student voice, leadership and media production skills; and promote civic engagement through classes and activities at Rutgers Newark. We have held ten successful yearlong sessions, and eleven intensive summer programs serving over 450 high school students. Learn more about YMS here.
