This committee oversees and allocates all U.S. Department of Labor and New Jersey labor funded youth programs. The mission of the Youth Development Council Committee is to provide a system that will encourage the youth in Gloucester County to be an integral part of the community through various flexible, educational and career activities. Realizing that students withdraw from high school for various reasons, the Youth Education and Career Center, (formerly Youth One Stop) was created in order to provide "at risk" youth an alternative way to acquire their HSE and be guided toward employment and/or additional training. The facility was created with the onset of WIA.
