<b>Today (2-2-16) marked the return of NJ Youth Corps/Working Scholars Program to non-profit organization Let's Celebrate, which doubles as both a soup kitchen and food pantry in Jersey City, NJ. Our student/staff young adults assisted unloading the pantry stock, bringing pounds of food and drinks up to the holding area and then stocking the shelves with various items. Then they transitioned into servers and cleaners for lunch time, feeding the clients who came to eat. Our staff felt particularly humbled with their efforts and the people that they helped. </b></div>

If we didn't have anything to eat, we would be the same way. Sometimes people are out here looking for a hand out - only because they can't support themselves. Times like this just make you value what you do have."</i></b></span> - <b><span style="color: blue;">Mike</span></b></div>

<b>As the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum's summer visitors begin to dwindle down during the weekdays, our student staff continues to work on building renovations, updating exhibits and creating new artwork for the facility. Our student staff has shown themselves to be very versatile and effective when it comes to completing tasks at hand. It is important for them to show a variety of different skill sets at the workplace in order to add on to their professional experience. It also gives us flexibility when placing them on permanent work-sites later on. Our students personal development on the community service side prepares them with a productive work ethic for their next chapter in life. </b></div>

Earth Day Celebration at Jersey Explorer Children's Museum<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>This past Saturday, the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum
hosted the 'Go Green! Earth Day Celebration', presented by the Bridge Of Books
Foundation and NJ Youth Corps. The highlight of the event was NY Jets starting
offensive lineman D’Brickashaw Ferguson, who was on hand to present and read his
children's book titled 'Brick's Way Go Green!'<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>There were various 'Go Green!' themed tables to help
celebrate Earth Day. Tables included information on how and where to recycle, as well as computer games with recyclable themes. We showed a educational documentary on the positive effects of recycling. We also offered a book swap, where guests could bring in their old and used books and walk away with brand new ones. There were arts and crafts initiatives for the kids
to make a commitment on going green. Outside the museum, volunteers alongside
Youth Corps and the Bridge Of Books staff, planted flowers and added fresh soil to
our garden.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Guests of the 'Go Green! Earth Day Celebration' were offered
a gracious selection of literature from the Bridge Of Books Foundation. There was
food offered in the park courtesy of Robert from First Fridays and Councilwoman
Andrea McPhatter. Mr. Ferguson, who was a very gracious guest, stayed to sign a
few books, give motivational advice to the kids and take a complete tour through the Jersey Explorer.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>We would like to thank the community at large (special
thanks to the local youth football teams) for attending and participating.
Special thanks to Abby Daly and all the great people at the Bridge Of Books
Foundation. We will continue giving away free books throughout the spring and summer, so make sure you stop in and visit us!</b><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Sickle Cell Association of New
Jersey <b><a href="http://www.sicklecellnewjersey.org/">(SCANJ)</a> </b>conducted a open house at the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum
on April 11th, 2015. Led by founder and executive director, Mary Bentley LaMar,
the open house provided visitors with general information regarding sickle cell
anemia and resources to assist people in dealing with the disease. Overall,
around 30 or more attendees showed up to watch video clips, converse with
others and enjoy a healthy lunch. Mrs. LaMar introduced the audience to new peer teachers who would also be spreading the word around NJ about sickle cell.
It was a very informative session, and our Youth Corps staff also had an
opportunity to learn about sickle cell, which effects a larger population among
minorities.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">According to
<a href="http://voxxi.com/2012/06/29/sickle-cell-disease-minorities-hispanics/">http://voxxi.com/2012/06/29/sickle-cell-disease-minorities-hispanics/</a> Approximately 1 in 1,200 Hispanics and 1 in 500 African-Americans in the United
States are born with sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic condition passed on
from parents carrying sickle cell traits, says St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital. It is the most common hereditary abnormality in the country,
affecting up to 100,000 people, and most often seen among Latinos,
African-Americans and people of Asian descent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We were very pleased to have SCANJ as
guests at the museum and we will continue to work with them to make the public
more aware of sickle cell anemia and how we can work towards helping those that
suffer with it.</span></div>

<b>April 8, 2015 (Holmdel, NJ) </b>– GO
GREEN! with New York Jets’ D’Brickashaw Ferguson as he joins the Bridge of
Books Foundation and the New Jersey Youth Corps for an Earth Day Celebration on
Saturday, April 25 at The Jersey Explorer Children’s Museum. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
GO GREEN! focuses on the three R’s:
Reduce, Reuse and Recycle and features fun activities for the whole
family. Crafts, games, gardening,
exhibits and recycling demonstrations will take place from 10 am until 3
pm. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ferguson, left tackle for the New
York Jets, will join the celebration at 1:30 PM to read from his children’s
book <i>Brick's Way Go Green!</i>. Free
copies of <i>Brick’s Way Go Green! </i>will
be distributed to all children in attendance throughout the day. Attendees are invited to bring gently used
children’s books for donation to the Bridge of Books Foundation and take part
in a Book Swap, selecting children’s books to take home. <i><o:p></o:p></i></div>

“I am
grateful to D’Brickashaw Ferguson for his generosity in supporting our cause,”
said Abigail Daly, Bridge of Books Foundation Founder and Executive
Director. “Access to books is the single
biggest barrier to literacy development in the United States. In many towns throughout New Jersey, there are
homes that have only one or two books. At
Bridge of Books, we believe every child has the right to own a book. Our goal is to distribute 1 million books by
2020.”<o:p></o:p></div>

“We are
excited to partner with the Bridge of Books Foundation for this Earth Day
Celebration,” said Gary Patnosh, from the NJ Youth Corps and The Jersey
Explorer Children’s Museum. “We support
their mission and believe that literacy opens the door to greater
opportunities. In addition to providing thousands of children with an
interactive and educational experience at the museum, the NJ Youth Corps welcomes
the opportunity to send every child home with books from the Bridge of Books
Foundation.”<o:p></o:p></div>

NJ Youth Corps have been volunteering with non-profit group "Let's Celebrate" over the past six months, helping to service clients in the food pantry and soup kitchen. Our students have gained a great appreciation for working with those in need. It is a part of their 150 hour community service commitment to the Youth Corps program. A few of our Youth Corps students commented on their experience thus far working at "Let's Celebrate".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">Joel: </span></i></b>I just like helping people. You have to talk to everybody, even if they don't speak English. So you are always learning a lot. Plus you are helping out your community. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Ebony:</i></b> </span>We get to interact with different people every week. You learn to be patient and have courtesy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are grateful to have a work-site such as "Let's Celebrate" for our students to gain important and relevant skills that will certainly help them on their next job in the future. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">February 21st, marked the date of a very important event at the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum - The National African-American Read-In. We had an outstanding performance from <b>Christine Dixon</b>, who starred as <b><i>"Harriet Tubman Herself"</i>,</b> which truly captivated our audience. Ms Dixon reenacted the life and times of the Underground Railroad's most recognizable conductor, Harriet Tubman in an emotional one woman show. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The event ended slightly early due to an incoming snowstorm,
but we had a amazing time learning from our special guests. Below we have links to
all of the participating author’s books as well as pictures from the event. We
still have free African-American literature we are giving away at the museum,
so please stop by on a Saturday when time permits. Thanks to all who were
involved. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

It was the JECM version of a star studded spectacular - featuring Queen Elsa from the movie Frozen and Santa Clause himself all the way from the North Pole. The official December 13th, Christmas Extravaganza! Local social clubs such as the motorcycle riders of BlocBurnaz and the wonderful women of Benevolent Beautiez were on hand to raffle off gifts. The East Orange Fire Department was also in attendance to show their support. There were free books courtesy of our partners at Bridge Of Books. In addition, we had an abundance of donations from the United Way and other charities. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course the community of East Orange and surrounding areas of Essex County were present for this cheerful event.We had a packed house! Our visitors had a warm safe haven and full access to the JECM exhibits. Our dependable trustee board at the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum always go above and beyond their means to make sure we are presented in a positive light. Yes it was a Saturday to remember, as the museum was filled with colorful painted snow penguins, bright blinking Christmas lights, holiday music tunes and a digital snowfall on the ceiling of the main hall. We appreciate all the attendees and volunteers who helped make our Christmas Extravaganza a magical unforgettable experience. </div>

NJ Youth Corps formed a partnership with the Capstone Program which allowed them to work with emerging NJIT graduates on a number of versatile projects. The Capstone students Sam, Alyssa and Ramesh created a short film project titled <span style="color: cyan;"><b><u><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4211712/" target="_blank">"Please Judge Me"</a></u></b>,</span> which focused on stereotypes and how misjudging people can create barriers that inhibit us all in progressing forward. The film itself focused on a teacher who incorrectly labeled a student based on her style of clothing and not her intelligence. He learned a valuable lesson in the end!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The short film was displayed on a 50 inch flatscreen for students and judges alike to view. The Capstone students created a document to show the different stages of pre planning and development that was worked on to complete the project in full. It was certainly an engrossing experience for our Youth Corps students, as they were engaged from the acting, all the way to learning about the post editing procedures. We look forward to our continued alliance with NJIT and the Capstone Program.</span><br />

Yesterday, NJ Youth Corps traveled to Queens, NY to give a helping hand to Hot 97 FM and the Hip Hop Has Heart Foundation. It was for their annual "Lift 'Em Up" event at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center. Our students under the direction of Crew Leader Doug Bailey helped put together gift bags for families that are less fortunate. </div>

In addition to the items being donated which included Reebok sneakers and Trukfit clothing, NJ Youth Corps in collaboration with the Bridge Of Books Foundation, donated over a hundred brand new books to the cause.</div>

Our students had an excellent time behind the scenes working with radio professionals and were truly humbled by the experience. They volunteered for nearly two hours before heading back to Jersey City. We are looking forward to continued community service efforts! Check out the official press release below regarding the event as well as pictures taken while our students worked. Special thanks to the whole Emmis Communications staff for welcoming us!</div>

The short film will deal with stereotypes and the way they negatively effect people. In this case, a high school student is profiled by a substitute teacher who wrongly makes assumptions about the student based on the way she is dressed. NJIT's Capstone team was on hand to assist in directing and shooting the project, which should be fully completed by the end of the month. The Capstone team was instrumental in writing the script and developing some very intriguing characters.<br />

<b style="font-family: Courier;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jeffery</span> (played by Jacob) </b><span style="font-family: Courier;">is dressed in clothes that are well fitted. He is a well-spoken individual that doesn't take any sides and keeps a good distance from all the other students.
He is not smart but he sucks up to the teachers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

He is full of himself, he is
loud and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He has a very controlling attitude in
which everything has to go his way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

There will be behind the scenes and blooper footage as well. This project will also be accompanied with a lesson plan and discussion session speaking about the ills of discrimination and the need for more tolerance to individuals differences and preferences. It is also designed as additional training to teach our students how to become better presenters and performers at the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum, which is the Jersey City, NJ Youth Corps work-site. In addition, our students will learn about shooting, editing and producing short video projects. Below are a few shots from the shoot.<br />

Saturday October 25th, the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum hosted a wonderful community event - The Great Pumpkin Carving and Haunted House spectacular! The brand new staff and students of NJ Youth Corps did an amazing job working countless hours in support of this function. Councilwoman Andrea McPhatter in collaboration with the Powerzone Foundation, First Friday Youth Commission and other valuable supporters brought together families in Essex County for a theme of spooky celebration and fun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NJ Youth Corps were dressed for the occasion with scary costumes and eye popping makeup to match! Over a hundred guests attended the festivities and had a glorious time. There were guided tours through our popular exhibits such as the Ancient Tomb and Jukebox, all specially decorated with a Halloween twist. Special thanks to all of our volunteers and attendees! Our pumpkin carvers were extremely creative with their designs. Check out some cool pictures below. </div>

New Jersey Youth Corps (Jersey City)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02707314684888133481noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667940437692222867.post-86702974802206471672014-10-28T08:44:00.001-07:002014-10-28T08:51:04.011-07:00NJ Youth Corps Service in the Community (Part 1)On Wednesday October 9th, NJ Youth Corps worked locally in the Jersey City community servicing a resourceful food pantry as well as the historical Loews Theater.<br />
<br />
"Lets Celebrate" is a non profit agency that works to help people in need with donated groceries and other social services such as financial education and affordable housing. NJ Youth Corps worked as a team to help stock their pantries and prepare bags of food for the clients stopping in. It was a very humbling experience for our students, especially the few that lived right up the street and recognized some of the people in need. Unfortunately, issues such as hunger effect many individuals and families regardless of race, gender and even career status. Even some of those that have jobs, struggle with low wages or lack of full time employment and find it difficult to afford three square meals a day. NJ Youth Corps engaged with some of these individuals and families by serving up hot lunch meals for them.<br />
<br />
At the Loews Theater, the staff assisted in organizing and cleaning efforts. They swept, mopped and moved various items to different locations in the theater. The management was very appreciative of Youth Corps efforts. These community service projects will continue throughout the finish of 2014 leading into 2015.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On October 3rd, NJ Youth Corps visited the Newark Museum for research, developmental purposes and knowledge building for our students. After a light lunch in the area, we arrived at the museum in the afternoon and began our self guided tour. A definite highlight was the <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Ballantine House mansion, which was originally built in 1885. The luxurious home was built for the wealthy Ballatine family, who were owners and creators of Ballantine Ale/Beer. It is located in an upper wing at the museum.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The trip gave our students who are also staff of the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum, an opportunity to see how other facilities that provide similar resources are ran. In addition, they were exposed to ancient Korean collectibles (Land Of The Diamond Mountains), GenFit - an exhibit that focused on interactive exercise plus healthy eating, and finally Chinese artifacts and religious culture. We all had a informative time that was every bit of thought provoking as it was fun. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The NJ Youth Corps went on a mission to check in with the National Park Service in regards to the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum's extensive Vietnam Memorial Collection. We traveled by van to our nation's capitol on September 11th. It was a solemn day, marking the 13th year of the 9-11 tragedy which shook our nation to its core. What a day to be reminded of the liberties we have as citizens of this great country and explore some of the most famous landmarks in the world.</span></div>

NJ Youth Corps along with the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum were eager to give a helping hand to such a monumental event that directly involves the talents of young people making a positive difference. </div>

Radio Host, Hip Hop Artist and Activist Hakeem Green showed his support by visiting the JECM before '24 Hours Of Peace' took place. He was in awe of our museum and staff as well as our informative, thought provoking exhibits. </div>

Hakeem is one of the key organizers for the 24HoursofPeace event, which is presented by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. Thanks to our connections and supporters we were able to donate over a thousand books over the weekend for a unified effort on decreasing violence in Newark and increasing support for the talented citizens who are spreading awareness and promoting peace and love.</div>

Friday, August 22nd, marked the date of an interesting road trip that started at the historic Watchung Reservation in New Jersey and ended at a Route 22 Barnes & Noble book store. It was a journey that took our city-wise students and staff into a wilderness exploration into nature where we saw vintage artifacts and luxuriant plants. We also did some serious climbing and hiking. We had a glorious time and are looking forward to a return trip soon. Here are some Youth Corps student/staff reactions to our day.</div>

Mary Pat Christie, wife of NJ Governor Chris Christie, started the NJ Heroes Program to "<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-center;">recognize, celebrate, and promote the Heroes of New Jersey who inspire fellow New Jerseyans to give back to their community."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-center;">Here is the First Lady's official statement on the wonderful acknowledgment of Abby Daly:</span></span><br />
<i style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></i>
<i style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><b>Today I took a trip to the Jersey Explorer Children’s Museum in East Orange to honor Abby Daly as my 4th NJ Hero of 2014. Abby’s non-profit foundation, Bridge of Books, provides an ongoing source of books to underprivileged and at-risk children throughout New Jersey in order to support literacy skills and to encourage a love of reading. The organization’s name comes from the belief that a book, like a bridge, can take a child to new places. Abby, who has always been involved in community service, saw an overwhelming need for books in many areas of our state. As something many of us take for granted, she wanted to find a way to be able to provide for those children who may not even own a single book. Through donations and book drives, Bridge of Books has been able to facilitate the distribution of over 425,000 books since its launch in 2003. Bridge of Books also partners with the New Jersey Youth Corps, who helps with the distribution of the books. Today, the Youth Corps set up a “Summer Book Blast Book Fair” for the children of East Orange inside the museum, as well as a tour where they were able to explore the different interactive exhibits. The children were ecstatic to have such a great day planned for them! Bridge of Books brought over 2,400 books for these children to choose from, take home, and call their own. The looks on the children’s faces as they were holding onto their brand new books was priceless. It was great to be at the Children’s Museum today and meet so many inspiring people involved with the Bridge of Books Foundation. Abby presented me with a beautiful frame that read “Books have the Power to Change Lives” – a philosophy that I find to be so important and true. Abby truly demonstrates what it means to be a New Jersey Hero. </b></i><br />

We truly appreciate them as do the families and students who frequent our museum. </span></span><br />

Here at NJ Youth Corps, we are very proud of our student graduates from the 2013/2014 semesters. We had a small graduation ceremony in June of this year to commemorate our students success in the program. They worked diligently to complete and pass their academic testing, in addition to completing 150 community service hours. They are focused and eager on starting the next phase of their young lives which includes part/full-time employment and/or admission into Hudson County Community College.</div>

The Jersey City Youth Corps were recently invited to speak on a live radio program which took place at Seton Hall University on 89.5 WSOU FM, home of Quest Community Vibrations Radio. This half hour Saturday radio show is spearheaded by Mr. Richard Bey and young emerging correspondents and talent. Ryan, one of our student's from the Youth Corps program and current staff member at the Jersey Explorer Children's Museum, spoke about his experiences studying and working thus far on air. We also asked Ryan after the show, how he felt about representing for Youth Corps over the airwaves. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> "Being on the radio show was very exciting for me, it was one of the few things that I haven't had the chance to do. I talked about Youth Corps, working at the museum (JECM), just getting out there telling people what we do was a lot of fun. It was a very good experience meeting everybody that we got a chance to meet. I would love to do it again, if the time comes." - Ryan </b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Ryan: "You get to see a lot of different places that not a lot of TV shows or news stations talk about.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Steven: "I came in and it looked very interesting. The more I got into the exhibits, the more I learned about what was going on. You learn about all these places that people don't really know about. There are familiar countries, but they are also these small countries that are actually very interesting."</b></span></div>
