Abstract
Drawn from a case study of a Newark youth, Alex’s narrative illustrates some of the insights he developed while mentoring a student during his initial summer semester in the program. A central goal of the secondary cohort of the NMUTR in general, and the summer semester specifically, was to provide the residents with opportunities to really get to know Newark youth within their own community rather than to support, confirm, or enhance the typical deficit ways in which we think about urban youth.
