The New Jersey Youth Corps (NJYC) proudly celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, marking four decades of empowering young people across the state through education, workforce training, and community service. This milestone also commemorates 38 years of the NJYC program’s impactful presence at New Jersey City University (NJCU), one of the longest-running sites in the state.

As part of this year’s celebration, NJYC invites current corps members, alumni, community members, and partners to a special Memorial Tree Planting Ceremony at A. Harry Moore School on May 14, 2025.

Established by state legislation in 1988, the New Jersey Youth Corps has served as a vital re-engagement program for young adults ages 16–25 who have left high school before earning a diploma.

Since its inception, NJYC has changed the trajectory of thousands of lives by providing academic instruction, employability skills training, and life skills development, all while instilling a strong sense of civic responsibility.

Following the tree planting, Youth Corps sites statewide will unite for a culminating Day of Service and Celebration on May 19, 2025, at Liberty State Park. This statewide gathering will bring together corps members, alumni, staff and elected officials to honor 40 years of service, showcase the impact of the program, and look ahead to its future. The event will include community service projects, recognitions, and a ceremonial program highlighting the shared mission of empowering New Jersey’s youth.
