History
Founded in 2007, New Beginners is a non-profit organization that is designed to assist youth in receiving support and guidance from a mentor, increase academic performance, improve youth social relationships, reduce youth dropout rates, and juvenile delinquency. Over the past sixteen years, New Beginners, Inc. has worked with various organizations, schools, and businesses mentoring “at-risk” youth with poor reading skills. We have seen that this early intervention has caused an increase in students' reading abilities when participating in our program.
