Project Reconnect

Center for Family Services proposes partnering with the Camden County Youth Services Commission and Administration of the Courts/Probation to establish Project Reconnect. The project will engage 90 youth and their families to equip them with individualized strategies and resources to achieve sustainable positive change. Center for Family Services will work with participants to reduce barriers to accessing social services, educational programs, and employment opportunities, and will work to create services where none exist. The program will offer a space specifically for reentering young people to connect with peers through workshops, recreational activities, trips, and events to help achieve their goals. Project Reconnect will build family engagement through weekly sessions with youth and their families to support transitional supports at home as well as in the community. Center for Family Services will support the program by hiring a program director, care coordinators, and credible messengers.
