WomenSource Training Institute- Established in 2000, as part of a growing organization. It combined the training and education pieces of all of the programs and coordinated training space. One of the first major vocational training pieces offered in conjunction with Home to Work were computer courses, offered at the satellite office at the Red Cross in Pleasantville. In 2001, Avanzar began to offer the Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. This important entry-level certification helped to raise the quality of care in early childhood education in Atlantic County, and is still offered by the agency today. https://avanzarnow.org/about/history-mission/

Youth Advocate Programs 

YAP provides young people, adults and their families with intensive support in their home, school and community through our YAPWrap model that blends best practices from research in wraparound, mentoring, and positive youth development. We partner with families to build and strengthen essential skills and resources needed to thrive throughout life, such as increasing their ability to safely problem-solve their needs, developing their social, emotional, academic and career competencies, and building their network of community support. Advocates meet with participants multiple times a week at the times most needed by the family, with an emphasis on safety and support. Individualized plans balance involuntary service demands with activities driven by the participant's prioritized wants and needs.
