A 501 (c)3 Nonprofit Organization

We're Here to 'Do Good'!!

Shine A Light NJ has provided services to the Jersey City community for years through grassroots efforts. Our motto is 'Doing Good' in the community, which encompasses our desire to give back and amplify the voices of those who are routinely denied the opportunity to be heard. 

Now that we are officially established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we are geared to make a greater impact in the most impoverished sections of Jersey City. Shine A Light NJ is managed by a volunteer-led board, which is comprised of Black and Latina women who strive to improve and enhance the holistic health and wellness of the most marginalized populations in the city. 

Our Mission

 Shine A Light NJ provides marginalized youth with academic and social activities to foster their development.  

Our Vision

  Shine A Light NJ aims to empower marginalized youth to achieve their goals and reach their full potential in any endeavor they choose.
