To strengthen culturally competent services in the State of New Jersey for people with diverse needs, and to facilitate access by individuals, families, providers, and professionals to these services.

The New Jersey Statewide Network for Cultural Competence(NJSNCC) is a collaborative effort by stakeholders in agencies and community organizations to strengthen culturally competent services in the State of New Jersey for people with diverse needs, and to facilitate access to these services. Its initial focus is to identify resources; i.e., agencies and individuals who have knowledge and skills about specific cultures and/or services for people with diverse needs, and to develop a resource tool which will be broadly used.
