DARE TO PREPARE
We should make sure that our children are aware of the opportunities. Please share with your family and neighbors. My niece participated in a DARE Program that was very much like this. It was given through the Englewood Police Department. Where is DARE now? You never know. Perhaps we should pay more attention to growing a different kind of law enforcement officer.
"...The Academy is a free two-week “day camp” that is offered to qualified Bergen County youth entering high school. The Academy will run from June 29 through July 10.
With the motto “Honor – Respect – Commitment,” the Bergen County Youth Police Academy aims to educate the cadets about public service including county government, the judiciary, emergency services and law enforcement.
“Designed by law enforcement professionals, the Academy provides high school students with a real understanding of what police academy cadets experience,” stated Prosecutor John L. Molinelli. “This unique opportunity allows young people to focus on strengthening their life skills of self-respect, respect of others, teamwork, and commitment to one’s goals...

A Model Neighborhood Initiative
Story by Cyril Josh Barker
3/19/2015
Alternative Spring Break project students from Howard University are participating in Mayor Ras Baraka’s Model Neighborhood Initiative cleanup in Newark this week.
They will be joined by other neighborhood volunteers and will focus on “the model street,” Seymour Avenue, between Avon and Hawthorne avenues.
Fifty students, including some from Newark, are already performing volunteer work at various sites throughout the city and will conclude with a community-engagement walk, another civic participation initiative by Baraka, at week’s end.
Baraka and his late father, the pioneering revolutionary artist Amiri Baraka, are both Howard University alumni.
Alternative Spring Break was launched in 1994 to provide Howard University students with a meaningful, constructive “alternative” to the usual spring break activities.
The aftermath of the Katrina disaster in New Orleans inspired the growth of the project, which has since appeared in several cities, including New Orleans, Memphis, Detroit, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, Chicago and Baltimore. Project members have also served abroad in Haiti.
The project has been featured on BET, MSNBC, CNN and ABC and in the Chicago Tribune and the Detroit Free Press.
Last year, Howard University was named to President Barack Obama’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, the highest distinction a higher education institution can receive for community service.
