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
participants are invited to attend an Open House at Project Self-Sufficiency to
learn more about the New Jersey Youth Corps and to complete an

In addition, 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.
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
