Community Services/Non-Profits in Perth Amboy, NJ

“I am retired and looking to rejoin the work force. The pandemic has resulted in agencies being closed to the public. Thus, you have to use websites to access their human resources. Catholic Charities is in the heart ❤️ of Perth Amboy. It's vital to the community. The receptionist was helpful, and staff appeared very busy. It would be nice to see this agency in a new state of the arts upgraded building. It would be most deserving.”

“The YMCA is a great place for all families to go they have activities for the children teenagers adults they have Zumba classes yoga classes weight rooms and to play basketball ballet classes arts and crafts for the children and a swimming ?‍♂️ pool as well as swimming lessons for those that want to learn to swim and a children park and playground on the left side of the YMCA and the schools also have programs for the special needs children although the Guardians that supposed to be watching the children need to pay more attention to the children than to socialize with each other the special needs children do have fun and that really put a smile on my face but the only thing that really concerns me is that their water fountains does not have filters the water literally has a smell coming out of it because when I drank it it really left me dehydrated for a few hours I mean it's not so hard to put filters in those water fountains they need to keep the water clean and then you have the automatic door opener for the handicapped for people that are working with canes crutches or wheelchairs because for one to constantly pull that heavy door open just to walk in is a problem I mean they have an automatic door opener and it hasn't been working for weeks why do they continue to ignore that knowing that's very important they need to attend to those little things it not a big job but it's very important to maintain those are the only two problems that should be taken care of quickly but other than that the staff and the people that work there are wonderful the people they're always greet you with a smile and with positive attitudes and it just makes you feel wanted the YMCA is a happy place to be and they make you feel part of a family they have plenty of parking and plenty of handicapped ♿ parking as well but the water fountains and the handicap automatic door opener need to be attended to as soon as possible and they also want to charge there members a locker fee wich i find very unfair to do to the members they pay enough money to join the YMCA why charge the members a locker fee when the members should have access to free locker and not charge talk about highway Robbery to all members knowing No other gym does this to there members NOT cool at all to do that need to change A.S.A.P I give them a C+ and I hope they attend to the little things fast to get that A++”
