Collier Services is a not-for-profit, nonsectarian organization based in the Wickatunk section of Marlboro Township, New Jersey, United States. The organization's efforts comprise three distinct programs for youth: Collier High School, Collier Group Home and Kateri Environmental Camp & Center.

In 1927, the Sisters of the Good Shepherd received the 260-acre Wickatunk property as a bequeath from Mrs. Robert Collier for the establishment of a residential school for neglected and dependent girls. In 1977, the site was repurposed as Collier High School, a special education day school for adolescent girls and boys. The Collier Group Home opened in 1973 in Red Bank, New Jersey to provide community living for teenage girls. The Kateri Day Camp was established in 1977 and the environmental education center opened in 1979.
