The
Monmouth Day Program provides the Monmouth County court
system with an alternative sentencing option to residential
or secure placement for troubled juveniles. The program
accepts both males and females between the ages of 14
to 18. Juveniles must be Monmouth County residents who
have been sentenced to probation. The average length
of stay ranges from four to six months. |
|
|
|
|
| |
The
goal of the Monmouth Day Program is to provide educational,
pre-vocational and counseling services to juveniles
while allowing them to remain in their guardians' custody.
These services are supplemented by educational trips,
organized recreational opportunities, anger management
classes, health and family life instruction, and substance
abuse awareness workshops. |

The
program operates Monday through Friday. The participants
arrive at 8:30 a.m. and leave the facility by 6:30 p.m.

Pre-vocational
training is offered under the guidance of professional
instructors. Training includes automotive mechanics,
building trades, landscaping, and painting. Basic work
skills are emphasized including safety, courtesy, punctuality,
and dependability. |

As
part of the automotive program, residents have re-built
a car for the local D.A.R.E. program and are currently
working on a second car. Community service projects
are regularly performed at the Monmouth Battlefield
State Park, the area YMCA, various township facilities
and the Monmouth/Ocean County Foodbank.
