The following Youth Programs are available through the Township Recreation Department. Registration forms for each program are distributed during the appropriate sign up period through Union Township Elementary and Middle Schools and online on this website.

Service Projects
The Recreation Committee provides opportunities for children to complete various Service Project requirements.

Rutgers Certification
The Union Township Recreation Committee provides youth program volunteers with an opportunity to attend, free of charge, the Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. certification clinic. This clinic, created by the Rutgers Youth Sports Research Council, helps coaches, parents, and administrators conduct safe, healthy, and enjoyable recreation programs for young athletes. In accordance with the stipulations of New Jersey’s Little League Law, the 3-hour long Rutgers S.A.F.E.T.Y. Clinic helps coaches minimize the risk of injury to young athletes, provides information about fundamental coaching concepts which enhances volunteer coaches’ effectiveness, and protects volunteer coaches from civil lawsuits. Certification is permanent and is applicable across all youth programs.
