THE HUB
Program Summary
The Hub is a School-Based Youth Services Program dedicated to the emotional, social and
academic success of MMS youth. With our own office in the school, we deliver mental health
counseling, skills-building and prevention services, recreational activities, special events, and
academic support. Working in collaboration with school personnel and community groups, our
services help youth and their families build strength, character, compassion and optimism
about themselves and their futures, so they can form healthy relationships, make positive
choices and achieve success both in Middle School and beyond. After school, the Hub is open
for supervised recreation including, videogames, ping pong, foosball, board games, computer
use and hanging out with friends.
All services and activities are offered to all MMS students free of charge. The
Hub is operated by FAMILYConnections, in collaboration with MMS staff,
and with ongoing funding from the NJ State Department of Children and
Families.
