About Us

What We Do
Neighborhood Connections helps job-seekers find services in their own communities that will enable them to overcome barriers to employment. The program provides information and referral support to Northern and Central New Jersey One-Stop Center staff and consumers and to the general public as well.

Neighborhood Connections has developed and maintains a comprehensive and user-friendly mapping of relevant support services via the internet through an online directory. We will assist you through the maze of agencies and programs by giving you specific information on services in your area that you need.
