In this session, we plan to share the early stages towards Newark's first community-centered data hub, emerging from an 18-year existing partnership between Rutgers University Newark’s Joseph C. Cornwall Center for Metropolitan Studies (Cornwall) and the Opportunity Youth Network (OYN) - with particular attention to OYNs systems building initiative (My Brother's Keeper - Newark) and the past three years of collective work, lessons learned, and vision for what is possible.

Speakers:
Robert Clark, Founder and CEO, Opportunity Youth Network
Mark Comesañas, Executive Director, My Brother’s Keeper – Newark
Dr. Vandeen Campbell, Assistant Research Professor and Associate Director, Cornwall Center for Metropolitan Studies
Amanda Jaeger, Senior Research Analyst, Cornwall Center for Metropolitan Studies
