Rutgers Youth Success Center

The Youth Education and Employment Success (YE2S) Center seeks to improve measurably the quality of life of Camden youth by expanding their educational, vocational, and employment opportunities.
As part of the program, we take a holistic approach in linking youth to a variety of services as needed including mental health, substance abuse prevention, sexual health and safety, and violence prevention, as well leadership development and good citizenry. Through the commitment and teamwork of our instructors, staff, and community partners, we are dedicated to helping our young adults to become more caring, competent, and contributing citizens of the City of Camden.

Under a unified collaboration among the City of Camden, Camden Public Schools, Community Planning and Advocacy Council (CPAC), Camden Youth Policy Board, The Nicholson Foundation, Rutgers University, and numerous community-based organizations, this innovative center is strategically located and organized to ensure a safe environment, with optimal delivery of youth services.
With customer service as our focus, we will define and locate educational, employment, and outreach opportunities for our current and future participants. On a citywide, collaborative basis, we will deliver positive youth development programs and services that add measurable and marketable skills to our young people and the organizations that will be collaborating as partners.
