Supportive Service Program

Youth enter the J4NG program with an average of 7 barriers (there are 38 identified barriers that fall into these categories: academic, economic, familial, or environmental) that interfere with reaching graduation and employment. The Supportive Service program provides resources to remove these barriers to education and/or employment and can take many forms: helping youth obtain a work card, apply to college, access transportation to school or work, purchase necessary job attire or tools, etc. A seemingly small investment pays dividends for the future of our youth and the community.
