Imani Cooper

Imani Cooper is pursuing a double major in accounting and management at Rutgers-Camden.
Through the Rutgers Ignite program, she works as an afterschool tutor at Dudley in the Camden
school district. Imani has made it her mission to show that being from Camden does not define
you but is a part of your story. She aims to create community initiatives that provide equal
educational rights to instill courage in the youth of Camden to disprove negative connotations
placed on the city

Media Appearances/Speaking Engagements:

Accomplishments:

• Working after school with children and Camden as a tutor

• Being a part of a documentary about Camden filmed, and directed by fellows

Upcoming Projects:

• Volunteering at my high school

I plan on volunteering at my local high school and figuring out ways in which I can get involved in my community and intertwine financial literacy to provide access to equity for generations to come in Camden.
