In order to meet the needs of the growing number of youth committed to the Juvenile Justice Commission with serious substance abuse issues, the Ocean Residential Community Home focuses on this special population.

Ocean RCH has the capacity to serve a maximum of 30 males between 16 and 18 years of age. The program promotes responsibility among young people for their shared living space, environment, and fellow man.

Ocean RCH provides an atmosphere for juveniles to learn and understand the impact of substance abuse on their past behavior, their lives and the lives of those around them. The program maintains a philosophy that encourages sound decision making and holds residents accountable for their decisions.

An on-site greenhouse and tree nursery provide the students with hands-on experience in horticulture and landscaping. Ocean RCH has plans to expand its vocational program to include graphic arts and career readiness.

Four days a week, students participate in a Cooperative Construction Trades Program at Allaire State Park. This joint effort among the Juvenile Justice Commission, the Department of Environmental Protection, the Division of Parks and Forests, and the Monmouth County Vocational School District offers students basic knowledge in carpentry while providing services for state parks and beaches.
