Newtown Success Zone

NTSZ is committed to achieving insurmountable success, helping children and families disrupt generational cycles to break economic, health, and educational barriers through practical and effective programming.

NTSZ exists to serve as the catalyst by which families and children living in the New Town neighborhood can be connected seamlessly with programs and services that afford families the opportunity to help their children be the very best they can be.

NTSZ is dedicated to helping families achieve long-term success for lasting impact within the family. NTSZ curates targeted programming that meets the needs of all individuals within a family, regardless of age or gender. NTSZ has adopted a model that meets the needs of children at birth until college, and developed programming for parents and family members addressing education, social services, family support, health, and community-building needs.

The mission of the New Town Success Zone (NTSZ) is to provide a place-based continuum of services from prenatal and well-baby care to college or post-secondary training for children and their families living in the neighborhood.

These services of the New Town Success Zone are provided by a coalition of youth-serving and community nonprofit agencies, in partnership with the Jacksonville Children’s Commission. The NTSZ uses the Collective Impact Model to address the existing social issues that impact a child’s ability to successfully progress through the Achievement Pipeline.  The New Town Success Zone’s strategies are modeled after other programs that have already been proven successful such as the Harlem Children’s Zone and others here in Jacksonville, FL.
