Enrollment for the next session of the New Jersey Youth Corps program at
Project Self-Sufficiency is underway.
The sixteen-week program launches on February 26th at Project
Self-Sufficiency. The New
Jersey Youth Corps gives those who have not completed high school the
opportunity to boost their literacy skills, prepare for the high school
equivalency exam, obtain on-the-job work experience, and transition into a
career, college or the military. Interested
students are invited to attend an Open House to learn more about the program;
Open Houses will be held at 5:00 p.m. on January 9th, 18th,
25th and 30th.
Participants in the New Jersey Youth Corps must be Sussex or Warren
County residents, aged 16 – 25, who have not completed high school. The program includes assessments, testing,
employability skills training, life skills workshops, academic instruction,
community service projects, field trips, and counseling services. Program participants will prepare for the
high school equivalency examination, and receive a stipend of $100 per week,
based on attendance for the full week.
Free transportation is provided.
Childcare is also provided free of charge at the Little Sprouts Early
Learning Center.
Project Self-Sufficiency is offering a $100 gift card to those who refer
a young adult, ages 16 – 25, to the New Jersey Youth Corps training and
education program. In order to receive
the gift card, referred individuals must enroll in the program, complete the two-week
orientation and be inducted into the program.
The New Jersey Youth Corps, which is funded by the New Jersey Department
of Labor & Workforce Development, is also in operation at sites around the
state, including Camden, Elizabeth, Jersey City, New Brunswick, Newark,
Paterson, Phillipsburg, Pleasantville, Trenton and Vineland. Those who are interested in learning more
