The Juvenile Justice Commission is releasing this funding opportunity as they seek to establish a contract with an individual, agency, or business entity that will implement an entrepreneurship program at a Commission secure facility and at multiple residential community homes (RCH). Contracted services will be provided at the Secure Juvenile Facility New Jersey Training School in Monroe Township, Warren RCH in Oxford, Albert Elias RCH in Bordentown, and at Costello Preparatory Academy RCH in Tabernacle.
The goal of the Entrepreneurship Program is to promote self-efficacy and economic equity for Commission youth by ensuring the Commission is providing youth with exposure to and training in a full range of business and employment opportunities. The program must provide access to tools and resources needed by aspiring entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship concepts must focus on business ownership as an economic opportunity strategy for program participants and ultimately the communities where they live and work. The program should include skill development such as: self-promotion/marketing/presentation skills, leadership, conversational skills, workplace/professional etiquette, financial literacy and management, personal development, and eliminating self-limiting beliefs. The program must include components that allow youth to continue to participate, and otherwise provide supports to youth as they pursue their entrepreneurial and vocational goals, as they transition home on parole.
