Newark will expand a mentoring program targeting city youth by encouraging high school students to watch out for their younger peers, officials said. Mayor Cory Booker said he will announce today the creation of an inter-school mentoring program that will initially identify students from Central High School to mentor their younger counterparts at the 18th Avenue School. City officials said similar mentoring programs were slated for Barringer and Abington High Schools.
