Youth Helping Youth
Strength comes from helping others
The Youth Partnership serves teenagers and young adults 13-21 years of age with emotional, behavioral or mental health challenges. Individuals must reside in Hunterdon, Somerset, or Warren counties and commit to weekly meetings and activities, under the guidance of our Youth Partnership Coordinators.
“Youth Partnership helped my daughter thrive! She learned so much, I cannot thank you all enough!”
