Middle Earth is a nonprofit that has served youth in Somerset County, NJ for over 40 years. Our mission is to provide youth with prevention, intervention and crisis services to help them develop into responsible and productive members of the community.

Middle Earth’s programs offer local teens a safe environment where they can: 
- safely connect with their peers, 
- engage with caring adults who listen, 
- obtain help with homework or employment searches, 
- participate in fun group activities, and 
- volunteer for community service opportunities. 

Middle Earth's programs teach youth:
- basic life skills such as budgeting, cooking, and how to obtain a driver’s license, 
- employment readiness skills, 
- college preparedness,
- positive decision making skills, 
- acceptance of consequences for their actions and responsibility, 
- character development and leadership skills,
- respect for themselves and others, and
- positive alternatives to gangs, drugs and crime.

Middle Earth also provides parents, teachers and other adults, information on a variety of teen issues on their blog, http://middleearthnj.wordpress.com. For more information about Middle Earth, visit www.middleearthnj.org.
