DAY PROGRAM
The Future Factory is a division of Revolution New Jersey, Inc., a known leader in community-based instruction serving people with disabilities. The Future Factory day program is designed to create a in-house community-based environment that offers its participants access to, and awareness of, opportunities that are available to them after graduation. These opportunities include the categories of social, employment, and life skill development. The focus will be fostering independence while at the same time developing relationships between peers.

TRANSPORTATION
Revolution New Jersey is proud to announce that as of February 2016, we expanded our transportation services and our fleet to do so. It is no secret that transportation has been and continues to be a weak link when attempting to put the pieces together for a successful, reliable day program for the individuals that we serve. This is an issue that needed to be addressed and that is what we did. As we always say here at Revolution New Jersey,
"Let's Get To Work." So that is what we did.
