Volunteers of America’s out-of-home residential programs in Northern New Jersey provide the support and guidance these young people need. Our programs offer guidance to youth who may be experiencing emotional, behavioral and/or psychological difficulties, as well as homelessness. For some youth, our homes provide the stability and security they never felt before.
