Job Skills-Educational Program This service is geared toward teens between theages of 14-17 years old. One might ask, what is thepurpose for this age selection. It is simply theinability for our youth to find quality jobs andpositive things to do. Mainly because of the lack oftransportation, job knowledge and theirsurroundings. In this program, teenagers are able todevelop leadership skills, responsibility, confidenceand how to manage their time and money.We are dedicated tokeeping teens off the streets and giving them anopportunity to jump-start their future provoking them to meet and overcome many challenges thatlife will serve them as well as being able to earnmuch needed funds for personal needs.
NJYC has successfully tackledthe task of supplying our teens with job skills, jobplacements, as well as providing fun freerecreational activities. Our purpose for this is tomonopolize their idle time. By achieving this we arelimiting their negative influences.
NJYC Teen Intervention The NJYC realizes that, our teens need more andmore of our attention. Due to the ever-increasingchallenges in our communities it is imperative toexpand our horizon of services. That is why we're proud to introduce; Teen Intervention sessions (TIS).
TIS is a new way to outreach to many teens. Thisprogram assists teens that may need any type ofone-on-one or group help. There are many ways thatTIS works. This is where we help to transport teensfrom their residence to the NJYC headquarters,where group sessions take place on topics rangingfrom spirituality, drug and alcohol abuse, gang violence and the importance of a family unit, toteaching the teens how to apply for federal grantsand funding available to them for higher education.
This is done with the assistance of our policedepartments, ex-gang leaders, Spiritual Leaders andmany others associated with the current topics.
