Education, Careers, & Lifelong Community (ECLC) of New Jersey

Mission: To empower and enable the individuals we serve to achieve their maximum potential and enhance their quality of life.

ECLC of New Jersey is an accredited nonprofit, educating students ages 5–21 with severe learning and/or language disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome or multiple disabilities at schools in Chatham and Ho-Ho-Kus. Every student graduates with a plan for adulthood! We provide Transition Services to bridge the gap from the classroom to a job or day program.

The ECLC Foundation was established to provide supplemental moneys to fund scholarships; after-school programming; adult weekend and enrichment programs; and events during non-school hours that require staff. Foundation moneys also provided the start-up costs for CPS and PRIDE and continue to supplement both adult programs.
