NJ Bonner VISTA Fellows - New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commis
 
 
 
The New Jersey Bonner VISTA Fellow Program is a post-college national volunteer service program developed in partnership of The Center for Community Engaged Learning & Outreach at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and the Bonner Foundation. New Jersey Bonner VISTA Fellows serve full-time for one year to enhance volunteerism, develop economic opportunities, and address policy issues across central New Jersey. The select candidate will be part of a larger cohort of VISTA members that will receive an on-site orientation and monthly trainings to improve knowledge and skills in the field. The JJC is housed in, but not of the Department of Law and Public Safety, Office of the Attorney General. The JJC’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to, operating the State’s juvenile correctional facilities and community-based supervision of juvenile parolees. While holding youth accountable for their delinquent behavior, the JJC provides a multitude of educational, rehabilitative and treatment services to juvenile offenders which are designed to address criminogenic needs utilizing evidence base principles and practices, best practices and promising approaches.
