The YOUTHWORKS Program provides young people, ages 17-21, with an opportunity to acquire job-related experiences, learn appropriate on-the-job behaviors and develop positive job attitudes. YOUTHWORKS enables youth to develop the skills and self-confidence needed to complete a GED and/or gain competitive employment. The program is designed to serve youth who have a designated learning disability who have dropped out of high school and are seeking a GED or who have graduated from high school within the past three years. Using individual or small-group instruction, YOUTHWORKS teachers provide young people with the skills necessary to succeed in the workplace. The program offers instruction in GED preparation, computer and office skills, employment assessments, and "soft" job skills to help individuals succeed, such as developing good work habits and handling on-the-job conflict. Participants are offered the opportunity for entry-level employment, paid internships and other monetary incentives. As participants progress, they are placed as interns for six weeks for approximately 30 hours per week. YOUTHWORKS is funded by the Town of Oyster Bay Consortium.
