Jersey Cares is a dynamic nonprofit organization that meets community needs by making volunteering in New Jersey easy and meaningful. Jersey Cares works directly with local nonprofit organizations and schools, identifying their needs and training volunteer leaders to manage projects that address them. Jersey Cares volunteers have provided thousands of hours of service to communities, including: mentoring troubled teens, reaching out to isolated seniors, working with the mentally and physically challenged, restoring the environment and assisting children with their schoolwork. Jersey Cares offers meaningful volunteer opportunities that showcase the rewards of civic engagement and address some of our communities’ most serious needs. Additionally, Jersey Cares is committed to closing the opportunity gap in Essex County. We will enhance the professional development of young people who live in and around Newark and reduce youth unemployment through two key workforce development programs; the Youth Workforce Development Fellowship and the Park Ambassador, Summer Youth Employment Program.
