    We See The World Global Peer Mentoring Project is a collaboration between Communities in Schools of New Jersey Mentoring Success Center and YouthWorks CIC in Belfast, Ireland. Students grades 9-12 who reside in Maplewood South Orange are eligible to participate in this wonderful program which will bring together youth from across the globe. This initiative will allow and encourage students to share experiences and learn through video conferencing, social media video and other technology.

    Thomas Owens of Communities in Schools of New Jersey and Stephen Hughes of Belfast, Ireland met nearly 2 years ago when Stephen’s YouthWorks team visited Newark. Finding common ground, both were committed to creating an innovative and engaging youth project using the powerful tools of technology. Together they launched “We See The World” and, through HK Community Fund (a community based charity located in Maplewood), have invited the youth of Maplewood and South Orange to join the project which launched on September 21, 2010 joining youth from Belfast, Ireland; Newark, New Jersey; Phoenix, Arizona and Dayton, Ohio. more »
