Resources for Students with Children

Parents reading with their children

The NJCU Community Center recognizes that students with children have multiple priorities that often require outside assistance such as childcare, food and shelter, and medical/health services. To help those students care for their children while remaining successful in their studies, the University has created this resource guide for NJCU student-parents looking for help at the university, county, and/or state level(s). This guide will grow as more resources become known and/or available to the Community Center. We also invite NJCU community members to submit any resources not listed here that might benefit other NJCU students with children. All resources can be emailed to communitycenter@njcu.edu
