REGIONAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES COORDINATOR YOUTH AND FAMILYSERVICES
New Jersey treats Regional Management Services Coordinator Youth and Familyservices as a competitive-class job, so the gate is an examination and the ranked list it produces rather than a direct offer.
The spec names a master's degree, but it leaves the door open to substitute experience for the degree. The FY 2027 range lands between $83,582 and $122,832.
