Opening Doors for Out-of-School Youth

ODOSY, which stands for Opening Doors for Out-of-School Youth, is an out-of-school service that offers free assistance to Cape May County youths, age 16 to 24, who have dropped out of school or have a high school diploma but are unemployed or underemployed. We assist these individuals in attaining a High School Equivalency diploma if necessary, entering post-secondary education, and/or securing employment. These services are highly individualized. Staff works closely with each youth to find out what they would like to achieve and then help them to develop a plan to reach their goals.
