I'd suggest going to witchvox.com and doing a search on covens and shops in your area. You should be able to find a few that way. Your local metaphysical shop might also be able to help get you in touch with a few as well.
Also keep in mind that many do not accept members under the age of 18.

Here's a link for Covens in the NY area. http://www.witchvox.com/vn/gr/usny_gra.html There are quite a few groups listed there. And you can find New Jersey groups at http://www.witchvox.com/vn/gr/usnj_gra.html
As has been mentioned, because of legal considerations here in the US, most covens will not accept member who are not at least 18 years of age.
Yes thank you i will chec it out. When i went to a local metaphysical shop she suggested solitary practice whereas id like the group practice better i think .

Traditional Witchcraft 'Group' practice and Solitary practice is pretty much the exact same, just either by yourself or with people. You probably won't find many Traditional Witchcraft Covens in the US or anywhere else for that matter - best bet is around England - since when people refer to Trad Craft, they are more meaning Modern Traditional Craft with a focus on Cornwall/Devon with bits and bobs from the rest of the UK.
Most Traditional Witches I have spoken to are 'Solitary but with Friends' whilst not an official coven/a coven at all - they meet with/chat to other Traditional Witches and sometimes meet up to share works or do a work together/celebrate some kind of Pagan Holiday.
You generally won't find Traditional Witches on Witchvox due to the fact that some people have come back from that site and said its 'Not Trad Witch Friendly' - what I recommend is that you branch out from this site and look at other websites as well, create a blog that people can read and get in contact with you/comment on - sparehead your learning and you should attract like minded individuals.
