Youth Services

The Youth Services Division provides dynamic educational, vocational, and recreational programs for New York City youth and young adults. Our philosophy incorporates holistic youth development through an empowering, culturally competent, strengths-based approach, as well as a commitment to promoting an inclusive and supportive environment. Participants receive assistance with accessing services and resources that cultivate their interests, foster leadership development, promote social and academic success, and motivates them to get a head start on mapping out their future. Programs are mainly supported by the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) and the New York State Department for Education.
