JOB WELL DONE: Princeton High School students Zaid Smart (left) and Marcia Bethea (right) celebrate a successful summer as participants in the Human Services Department’s Summer Youth Employment Program. Started by Human Services Director Cynthia Mendez (center) 11 years ago, the program pairs between 20 and 25 area high school students with non-profit and governmental jobs for 7 weeks each summer. |
Princeton High School (PHS) Senior Zaid Smart was expecting to work at the public library or as a summer camp counselor when he found out he would be participating in the Human Services Department-sponsored Summer Youth Employment Program. Instead, “I got a notice saying I’d be in the facilities office,” he said.
The new, spiral-bound 80-page glossy guide, Farm Markets of Central New Jersey, has Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset, Monmouth, Hunterdon, and Burlington Counties covered, but if detailed descriptions of where to buy locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, dairy products, and wine in Central New Jersey aren’t enough, those who buy the guide can take satisfaction in knowing that their $10 purchase will benefit New Jersey Farmers Against Hunger.
