New Jersey Youth Corps is the largest corps program in the United States, serving over 1,500 young adults each year.  This program is administered by the New Jersey Department of Human Services.

New Jersey Youth Corps breaks the cycle of limited literacy and unemployment by giving young adults a second chance to earn a state-issued GED diploma or an Adult High School diploma.  Corps members also develop employability skills through community service work.  Other special services include counseling and job placement.  Many Corps members who complete the program continue to pursue higher education and specialized vocational training.

Corps members who successfully complete the program receive college referral services, opportunities for college scholarships, job placement assistance and a personal Career Portfolio.

All adult education services are provided
free of charge excluding the LPN
Licensed Practical Nurse program and a
small charge for Vocational and
Recreational classes
