Overview

CHS leads this coalition of five organizations that provides an array of literacy services to families living in Cumberland County, New Jersey. We conduct the intake assessment, manage the cases, monitor and assess each family's progress, and provide instruction in adult basic skills and ESL (English as a second language). The Center for Family Services provides parenting literacy workshops; the Kingdom Covenant Christian Center's Seeds for Success program provides financial literacy instruction; Casa PRAC provides an academic enrichment program for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade; and the Vineland Police Chaplain Program counsels families in crisis.
