Community. Diversity. Progress.
Linden Girl Open Run Nights is a new and free program for high school girls, which consists of open basketball runs at the Linden Multi Purpose Center. This program will be run by the girls middle school basketball coach Kyle Phipps and Department of Parks & Recreation Leader Rooks Crawford every Thursday night from 6pm until 8pm.
As you may know, the goal of Project Graduation has always been to provide a safe environment for our Senior Class on their Graduation Night. It was created as a result of seven alcohol and other drug related teen deaths during the commencement season in 1979.
Linden’s Mayor’s Youth Commission has hosted Project Graduation for over 25 years. The pandemic kept us from hosting Project Graduation for the last two graduating classes, and it is finally time to get back to our usual traditions! Because the Class of 2022 missed so much time together in the last few years, this celebration will be special.
Please support this special celebration for the Linden High School Class of 2022 by donating here.
We thank you for your anticipated donations helping us provide a safe environment in which our seniors can celebrate Graduation together…. safe and sober.
Sandy Jackson, President of the Mayor’s Youth Commission
Poll workers will earn a $300 stipend for the Primary Election on Tuesday, June 7, 2022.
Union County, NJ – May 16, 2022 — Union County residents who are interested in assisting voters at polling locations on Election Day this year can apply to become official poll workers.
