New Jersey Youth Resource Spot
NJ Youth Resource Spot is a website created for young people in New Jersey that have had some sort of involvement in the NJ Department of Children and Families.
- Maybe you’re in foster care, or maybe you were when you were younger, and want to find out how you can get some support in preparing for adulthood or planning to live independently
- Maybe you’re living in some sort of Transitional Housing Program, or maybe you’re homeless and looking for a place to stay
- Maybe you have a question that no one seems to be able to answer, or maybe you want to connect with other young people that have similar experiences
