TEEN AND YOUTH

Teen and youth issues being a very high priority in the community brought about the formation of a an alliance. A parenting consortium was developed consisting of local stakeholders from the Town of Dover. The Dover Board of Education, Dover Health Department, Dutton Counseling Center, El Primer Paso, Family Service of Morris County, Head Start Community Program, Hope House and Morris Area Girl Scout Council (Project Safe) joined efforts to develop a unique approach to enhancing life for parents and children. Our goal is to develop and implement a safety education program for both parents and children.
