Restore Ministries, Inc. is a 501(c)3 community organization located in Elizabeth, NJ. We provide programs and services to students ages 8-17. We give them organizational support and the skills to apply research-based strategies that teach and model good choices in and out of school, in order to gain them acceptance into trade schools, community- and four-year colleges or universities as avenues that lead to productive lives and sustainable employment.

Restore Ministries, Inc. strives to achieve excellence as a youth service organization. Our core beliefs are:

1. When Youth Development research-driven data is applied, our members can gain knowledge and organizational support to break the cycle of poverty that exists in their families and communities.

2. Healthy and intentional adult relationships are key to creating a learning and caring environment that encourages positive and productive behaviors in all students.

3. Urban students from economically at-risk communities can graduate on time and pursue post education after high school.

4. After school programs can play an important role in youth development especially when provided in concert with schools, community and local businesses
