Residents of NJCDC's Independence House recently enjoyed a Saturday excursion of "Paddling the Passaic", a therapeutic experience that fostered personal growth and camaraderie. They've also been preparing for the workforce, with four residents receiving new suits and accessories as part of their readiness for the workforce. We think they look amazing! At Independence House, residents gain more than just a safe place to stay—they receive life skills training, confidence-building opportunities, and the support of a caring community that helps them transition to a more stable future. https://lnkd.in/eYJVa_dQ #Transformation #IndependenceHouse #BuildingFutures #NJCDC #CommunityDevelopment

NJCDC hosted its first AmeriCorps reunion in 30 years, bringing together alumni to reconnect, share their journeys, and reflect on the program's lasting impact. We also recently gathered our Paterson Youth Council alumni, who shared stories and the values they’ve carried with them since graduation. We're proud of how both our AmeriCorps and PYC programs continue to shape leaders who make a difference in Paterson and beyond! #AmeriCorps #PYCAlumni #CommunityImpact #NJCDC30Years https://lnkd.in/esPtie-Q

We're glad to have you on board. Read more about Christian in our blog: https://lnkd.in/eSrv_bkh #youthleadership #patersonyouth #SuccessStory

Every Saturday children join our free soccer program of over 100 registered students, through our NHC Neighborhood Help Center. Coach Agostino Feola Sr. shares, "When you teach, you have to have it in your heart. From the heart, you have to have the patience, and from patience, you need the teaching skills." Coach Feola Sr., along with Coach Luis Garcia and our amazing NJCDC volunteers, dedicate their Saturday mornings to teaching kids the sport of soccer, step by step. Thank you for making this program such a success! ❤️ #NJCDC #Community #YouthDevelopment

#PatersonNJ teens who participated in the City Planning Institute, a two-week summer program, presented their plans for the city at our headquarters. This program introduces students to the field of City Planning as a potential career and new ways to think about their neighborhoods. For their final project, students created a redevelopment plan featuring more trash bins, night lights at the Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, zip lining, city bikes, and so much more! NJCDC is a proud sponsor of the City Planning Institute, empowering the next generation to shape their communities. #CityPlanning #FuturePlanners #NJCDC
