What Iep Youth Services Inc does

IEP Youth Services, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit social services agency founded in 1986 and headquartered at 83 West Main Street, Freehold, New Jersey, with a second program site at 43 Broadway housing the Project Stepping Stone transitional living program. The organization provides residential, social, and psychological services to youth and young adults in Monmouth County, NJ, accepting referrals for abuse, neglect, behavioral issues, addiction, and lack of a safe home. It operates a portfolio of interconnected programs: Project Stepping Stone (transitional living for up to five residents ages 18–21), Project KIN, Clinical Services (psychological, psycho-educational, psycho-sexual, and risk assessments), the Probation Offenders Program (POP) and Probation Multi-Treatment (PMT), a Parent Support Group for parents of youth with developmental disabilities, and the Nurturing Parent Program. Service delivery is staffed by licensed clinicians (Psy.D., LPC, LSW, Ph.D.) and supported by a Board of Trustees that includes a retired judge, CPAs, and attorneys.

The business model is donation-driven rather than fee-based: services are provided free of charge to eligible youth, and revenue is generated through tax-deductible contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations; four annual fundraising events (Spirits & Cigars, Golf fore Kids Classic, Ladies Night Out, Taste of the Towns); the iGive.com affiliate program (≥2% commission on purchases); and a cell phone recycling program ($0.50–$5.00 per device). Go-to-market is referral-based rather than sales-based — intake flows from child welfare systems, schools, courts, families, and community organizations — with awareness built through local corporate sponsorships, volunteer recruitment, and community events in Monmouth County. The organization has no public technology platform, no mobile app, no API, and no disclosed digital product beyond its informational website and donation portals. Federal EIN 22-2439656; N.J. Charitable Registration #CHO552800.
