Mission & Vision

Leadership Newark was born out of a deep commitment to strengthen Newark’s civic framework. Acknowledging the rich diversity within Newark’s community, a visionary group sought to create an organization that would develop leaders capable of effecting meaningful change. Since its founding, Leadership Newark has dedicated itself to building a robust network of leaders who are not only talented but also genuinely committed to the city’s future. Through extensive training and the nurturing of essential connections, we empower individuals to assume crucial positions in guiding Newark’s growth and success.
