OUR IMPACT:
When we invest in our children and families, we are building a brighter, more prosperous future for all. By helping CJR kids soar, we ensure our communities rise with them.
EDUCATION
“Every day’s a new day. You’ve got to wake up, you’ve got to feed the cows, you’ve got to take care of yourself and keep pushing – no matter what.”
Tom, CJR alumnus and recent graduate of the Independent Electrical Contractors of New England’s apprenticeship program, describing the life lessons he learned as a student on the CJR farm.
RESIDENTIAL
“I learned to listen to others more—instead of just listening to myself. I’ve seen a bigger picture.”
Jashiere, TRAC, REGIONS & MST-FIT participant whose mother now describes him as “working and motivated.”
WELLNESS
“I had a feeling I could trust her [therapist] and I could open up. I could feel that it was going to be OK.”
Angelina, Wellness Center and MDFT program participant, is now exceling as a high school freshman and musician.
COMMUNITY
“Life is hard when you’re that age [11 years-old], and CJR was a safe place where I felt really comfortable talking to the adults around me.”
