President/Executive Director, Monica Shaw
As Co-founder of Deliverance Children’s Ministry my vision is to provide a space for youth to call their second home. Like the ancient African proverb says, “it takes a village to raise a child” so with that same mission DCM strives to create a safe haven where youth are engaged in structural programs in academia, enrichment career development workshops and extra curricular activities. DCM in partnership with Joys in Teaching are working together to expand programs in Jersey City to youth in underserved communities, closing the educational opportunity gap and creating community change agents. We invite you to join our village!
