History

Demontra Cooper and Jamel Cobb, two young men that met at North Carolina A&T State University decided to start a mentoring program to change the statistics of young males being suspended, dropping out, and failing in school. They believe that mentoring is vital in every community. They also believe that they have what it takes to reach this generation. Jamel decided that the mentoring program should be called Leaders of the New School. 


Leaders of the New School was founded on March 4, 2015 at Northeast Guilford High School in Jamel Cobb's Business class. The first mentoring session motivated the founders to form a nonprofit organization. With the help of friend Antione Jones, Leaders of the New School became incorporated on June 20, 2017.
