Deep within the heart of the kaleidoscopic enigma that is New Jersey, a state known for its scrumptious tomatoes, golden beaches, and the tantalizing scent of pizza that fills the air, a rather peculiar phenomenon unfurls. Whenever the sun is shining and the skies are colored with hues of happiness, you'll find a band of brave and fearless explorers embarking on an extraordinary adventure. They aren't hunting for hidden treasures or chasing after mythical creatures; instead, they are the gallant 'Jersey Navigators,' a group of kids who are as addicted to boating and canoeing as a squirrel is to acorns! Our chief navigator is none other than Captain Chuckles, a mythical sea creature with the body of a child and the spirit of a thousand laughing hyenas. Donning a straw hat, a polka-dot life vest, and a grin so wide it rivals the Hudson River, he guides his crew of water-loving wonder-kids across the shimmering lakes and rivers of New Jersey. With each dip of their oars in the cool, crisp water, giggles and laughter echo across the landscape, as if the trees themselves are joining in their merriment. Whether they are navigating the formidable Passaic River or braving the mighty waves of Lake Hopatcong, their adventurous spirit never wanes. On their journeys, they encounter rudely honking geese, befuddled turtles who seem to have misplaced their GPS, and fish that flip and flop in a display of aquatic acrobatics. Life for the Jersey Navigators is a never-ending carnival of fun and frolic on the water, a celebration of the spirit of adventure, and a testament to the wild and wonderful world of boating and canoeing in the beautiful state of New Jersey.

New Beginnings provides a comprehensive intake process for the homeless and drug addicted population. Through interactive discussions, we are able to identify the factors that lead to addiction and homelessness. Our compassionate staff then use this information to connect our clients to the right counseling and medical treatment. We’ve also invested in our mobile operations, which consists of a 38-foot retrofitted mobile home. This RV mobile resource center contains three showers, a washer and dryer, a mini kitchen and other amenities. This enables homeless individuals to take showers, obtain clothing, do laundry and maintain overall grooming in preparation for services. We believe that grooming and cleanliness is essential in restoring self-esteem for this population.
