Job Skills-Educational Program
This service is geared toward teens between the
ages of 14-17 years old. One might ask, what is the
purpose for this age selection. It is simply the
inability for our youth to find quality jobs and
positive things to do. Mainly because of the lack of
transportation, job knowledge and their
surroundings. In this program, teenagers are able to
develop leadership skills, responsibility, confidence
and how to manage their time and money.
We are dedicated to
keeping teens off the streets and giving them an
opportunity to jump-start their future provoking
them to meet and overcome many challenges that
life will serve them as well as being able to earn
much needed funds for personal needs.
NJYC has successfully tackled
the task of supplying our teens with job skills, job
placements, as well as providing fun free
recreational activities. Our purpose for this is to
monopolize their idle time. By achieving this we are
limiting their negative influences.
NJYC Teen Intervention
The NJYC realizes that, our teens need more and
more of our attention. Due to the ever-increasing
challenges in our communities it is imperative to
expand 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. This
program assists teens that may need any type of
one-on-one or group help. There are many ways that
TIS works. This is where we help to transport teens
from their residence to the NJYC headquarters,
where group sessions take place on topics ranging
from spirituality, drug and alcohol abuse, gang
violence and the importance of a family unit, to
teaching the teens how to apply for federal grants
and funding available to them for higher education.
This is done with the assistance of our police
departments, ex-gang leaders, Spiritual Leaders and
many others associated with the current topics.
Awards & Recreational
We sponsor our own sports tournaments as well as
give out a yearly scholarship award to a teenager of
the year.
Our program recognizes teens for sale
achievements, outstanding scholastic
accomplishments & sportsmanship. We also supply a
generous activity program. Where our members go
on biweekly activities such as movies, bowling,
shopping, to group events such as concerts, radio
city, Broadway, and sporting events.
