Youth Services

The Youth Services division of Jersey Cape Diagnostic, Training, and Opportunity Center, Inc. assists eligible youth to adults in the Jersey Cape region in preparing for and acquiring employment. We have over 25 years of experience and success in youth training as an approved New Jersey Department of Education non-public school training provider and we are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Our services are offered to youth who face various barriers to employment, such as those who are disabled, those who have dropped out of high school, and those who are on probation. Overall, this results in a positive effect on the region's economy and workforce development.
