GET HELP - Are you a young person in need of help?

Donate Now

Because Covenant House New Jersey serves homeless youth throughout the state of New Jersey and the number of properties we operate continues to increase to meet the needs of our young people, we have created several Program Boards to help us raise support to develop and sustain particular initiatives.

While our Program Boards have no legal governance responsibilities, they are integral in ensuring that the services that we provide to our young people continue. They do this by helping us to raise funds for their particular area of interest. We could not do what we do without them.

We celebrate our incredibly generous Program Board Members!

Community Program Board

Responsibilities of a Board Member:

Program Board members help us in four ways:

  1.  Friend-raising Goal.  Program Board members are our best ambassadors to educate others about their area of focus. We ask that each Program Board member connect 20 new people to Covenant House through events, volunteer experiences, and site tours each year. 
  2.  Fundraising Goal.  The ultimate goal is for the Program Board as a whole to fundraise the budget for their area of focus. As such we ask Board members to raise or donate a particular amount. We will assist you in raising these funds by providing numerous fundraising opportunities for you to reach out to others such as Sleep Outs, Night of Broadway Stars, and Spring Lake Golf Outing.
  3.  Onboarding. All new Program Board Members attend a 2-hour Covenant House Board Orientation. Of course, because we work with youth and are dedicated to their safety everyone has to successfully complete a background check.
  4.  Meetings.  Program Board members are asked to attend their Board’s quarterly meetings and any specific fundraising events your Board may organize during the year.

For it is in giving that we receive.

Current Program Boards

Our Program Boards function is organized around the services within a particular community, a particular service we provide, or the demographics of the group itself.

Community Program Boards

Our Community Program Boards rally the support of the communities where they live or work.

These board members work to ensure all of the programs Covenant House New Jersey provides in their community thrive. Presently, we have three Community Program Boards.
