The Juvenile Administration Division receives County and State (JJC) funding to administer programs for the Passaic County Family Court, Youth Detention, and Juvenile Detention Alternative Programs. Additionally, this division operates the Youth Services Commission (YSC) which serves as the planning body for the development of programs for court-involved, at-risk and low-income youth. Programs address needs at each point in the continuum of care, prevention, diversion, detention alternatives, disposition, and re-entry. Referrals for these services generally come from Family Court, schools, youth case managers, community providers, and probation departments, parents and/or guardians, and the community. For more information about these services, please contact the Juvenile Administrator.

Sunday, June 30 to Wednesday, July 3

The Passaic County Parks & Recreation department in collaboration with the Passaic County Youth Services Commission has developed an overnight Youth Leadership Retreat that aims to enrich the lives of Passaic County youth. This retreat is open to all students enrolled in a Passaic County high school.

This retreat is hosted every summer at Camp Hope in West Milford, NJ where engaging and dynamic leaders will train our students on a variety of topics aimed at increasing their leadership abilities, self-confidence, and decision-making skills. The students will stay in air conditioned cabins with beds and hot water and be fed three meals from our dining hall staff (and dessert around the fire pit at the end of each night!) 

We have developed a curriculum that touches on the following topics:

  • Leadership Development
  • School/Life Resiliency
  • Building your professional and personal support networks
  • Future Success Decision Making 
  • Transformational Mentorship
  • Confidence Building
  • Emotional Intelligence
  • Learning & Appreciating Differences
  • Becoming an Upstander
