WELCOME TO THE MONTCLAIR NAACP

"Leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.”
~Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson

NAACP LABOR & INDUSTRY CAREER EXPO
The Montclair NAACP Labor & Industry Committee is excited to announce that it will host a Vocational Career Expo designed to inspire middle and high school students to explore a wide range of career paths and future opportunities. The event will connect students with professionals, tradespeople, and industry representatives who can share insights about different occupations, educational pathways, and the skills needed to succeed in today’s workforce. By introducing young people to hands-on, career-focused opportunities, the expo aims to help students expand their interests, learn about in-demand fields, and begin thinking about their future goals. To better inform this initiative, we ask that you share the survey with middle and high school students so that we can help build upon our efforts.
The Montclair NAACP story is deeply rooted in the town’s history. During the civil rights movement, members of our branch organized and marched for desegregation, fair housing, and equal education. In the decades that followed, the branch became a hub for advocacy — leading initiatives on community policing, school reform, and civic engagement that continue to shape our town today.
Our legacy is built on the sacrifices and determination of those who refused to be silent in the face of injustice. Today, we honor their courage by continuing their work — striving for equity, inclusion, and opportunity for all. While history has shown us that we are only as strong as our weakest link, our forefathers clearly demonstrated the power that we have when we stand up freedom, rise up for justice and speak up for equality!
