KIPP New Jersey is creating a network of schools in Camden and Newark where our students are prepared to succeed in college and beyond. This year we grew to ensure that opportunity is reaching over 5,800 students across our two cities. Through their hard work, the dedication of supportive families and teachers, and a deeply held, shared belief in their future, they are proving what’s possible.

Behind that growth are the stories of the teachers, students, families, supporters and community members whose love, determination, and passion made it all possible. Here are just a few.
