With the goal of encouraging young women to pursue higher education or enroll in job training programs, the billboard will feature a group of young women graduating from high school and going on to college in the fall.
The billboard will be unveiled across from PJ Hill Elementary School on East State Street in Trenton on Tuesday at 6 p.m. The “Heal the City” campaign is being spearheaded by the S.E.E.D. male mentoring program, a local group that looks to guide city youth to become responsible and successful adults.
In an effort to show Trenton residents, visitors and passers-by that good things do come from Trenton, the group aims to place at least one positive billboard in each of the city’s four wards.
