Are you looking for a job? Catholic Charities has positions open for their before and after school programs.

Recently, NJSACC: New Jersey’s School Age and Out of School Time Professional Network celebrated their 30th anniversary at the annual statewide afterschool conference in Princeton. The celebration was a highlight of the years the organization has made an impact on afterschool and out of school time in New Jersey. The organization supports child care providers and after school programs throughout the state as one of 50 state wide affiliate networks.

At its township committee meeting on October 22, 2019, Hillsborough Mayor Frank DelCore issued a proclamation acknowledging October 24, 2019, as Lights On Afterschool Day. DelCore encouraged continued innovative afterschool programming and activities that ensure the lights stay on and the doors stay open for all children after school.

Catholic Charities Child Care Program recently launched a Problem Solvers Club in an effort to create a positive peer environment that values constructive problem solving as it relates to resolving conflicts. As part of the Social Emotional Activities component of the aftercare program, the goals of the club are to learn how to manage anger, learn how to solve your own problems and learn how to help others solve their problems.
