DescriptionMission:
To equip children from our city’s public housing neighborhood
with the tools, not only to survive, but to overcome the many barriers
they face in their young lives
Why it’s important:
Hoboken’s children are among the most economically disadvantaged in Hudson County. The school nearest to the city’s public housing neighborhood was identified by The New Jersey Department of Education as serving the highest percentage of low-income children in the state. 96% of these children rely on the free breakfast and lunch at school available to children who live beneath the poverty line. Affordable after school programming in Hoboken is scarce, making it so very important for The Jubilee Center to exist.
