Jumpstart Newark is a robust community development program aimed at revitalizing the city. With the support of the Urban League of Essex County, our goal is to foster an environment rich in training, mentoring, networking, and financial resources for aspiring real estate developers.
Our collaborative ethos in real estate development magnifies the impact, embodying the belief that together, we can achieve what might seem impossible individually.
"Jumpstart" is a proven training model for community development, conceived by real estate developer Ken Weinstein. Its success has seen it spread across several municipalities within the City of Philadelphia and even to other states in the northeast, notably through initiatives like Jumpstart Germantown.
