We make long-term commitments to develop staff internally, so we can continuously grow talent from within. Our expected outcomes are to develop a team of dedicated learners, strong managers, and inspirational leaders who embody our core values of appreciation, love, dignity, respect and faith.

STAFF REVIEWS

“I have been a long standing team member of the NOYN and I believe in the network’s mission of serving a population that’s largely overlooked and under-appreciated. Everyone here shares the same mission and the same passion. From the top down, we’re all dedicated to serving young people in Newark and I’m grateful to be a part of a workplace that values community and improving outcomes for misunderstood students across the city. As someone who has been able to transcend circumstances that may otherwise hinder the growth of any individual, I have a vested interest in the young people we serve and the work we have committed to do.”

 

“Working with OYN has been an inspiring experience. Every staff member at every level strives to contribute to the greater good and believes in the power of the young people we serve. My colleagues work to grow as a team and to improve the impact we are making as an organization.”

“I've been working with OYN for a little over a year, and I can honestly say there's no other place I'd rather be. Within this organization, I finally feel like my work is being used for a greater cause and purpose, giving back to a population that tends to be ignored and uncared for. All staff members--from the teachers to the executive team--operate as a family, genuinely concerned for each other and all collaborating to give as much to our students as we possibly can. Great place to be.”
