Welcome
Hello and welcome to our website. Thank you for visiting with us. QUEST INK !, Inc. is a dynamic,urban based non profit youth services and family support agency with an illustrious history and proven track record of youth leadership development and family empowerment to the Greater Newark, N.J. community.
Established by Newark teens and young adults as Quest –CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) in 1970, Quest is now an independent entity, incorporated in 2003 and stewarded by its initial founders and young alumni. Our purpose has remained to people our communities with capable, responsible leadership. And because we firmly believe “the only known product form which a responsible adult can be formed is still a child…”, our express purpose has always been youth leadership development. In order to best meet this goal, we have evolved over the years to empower famiies as the first level of providing structural support for our youth. The Five Pillars of QUEST are Community Involvement, Cultural Awareness, Intellectual Growth, Social Responsibility, and Spiritual Enlightenment.
This is our 40th year of service and we look forward to including you in our efforts.
In this time of economic uncertainty those who provide community based services are hard pressed to sustain their efforts without the help of donors. We invite you to donate today.
Our current fund campaign celebrates our 40 years of operation with a
"$40./for 40" request. A one time donation of $40. would help us provide food for a family of four for a week through our Harvest Pantry; or support a mentor for a child for two sessions.
