ESCNJ Adult Community Services Program
-
The ESCNJ Adult Community Services is a program that offers individuals 21 and over an opportunity to strive for independence by helping to develop their social, emotional, and life skills. To explore individuals' interests, the program offers opportunities to participate in community inclusion and pre-vocational learning experiences. Hands- on experience that can be transferred to real-world opportunities is a cornerstone of the program to bridge the gap between school and adulthood. The program is based in the former NuView Academy Annex on the Piscataway Campus.
