"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured

by the compassionate actions of its residents."

"My name is Lawanda Reid and I am the Director of Southern New Jersey Community Services. I’m excited to introduce our organization and its mission to bring the Carneys’ Point / Salem community together by providing a safe center for every citizen as well as programming created to engage and inspire all ages.


Located at the former Salem County YMCA building on Shell Road, we’re happy to offer over 100 programs ranging from athletic, educational, health, finance and more. Our coaches and staff share a vision to help all members of our community reach their full potential in life. Leveraging excitement and passion around our training, participants will learn new skills and leave inspired and ready to be their best selves."
