Job Description

General Description

The Young Adult Borough Center (YABC) and Learning to Work Center at Thomas Jefferson Campus High School is an evening educational/youth development program that provide New York City high school students an alternative pathway to graduation. Students enrolled in YABC also include young adults who chose to leave daytime classes due to circumstances such as employment or adult responsibilities. YABC offers students an opportunity to participate in a non-traditional educational program geared toward helping them prepare for a high school diploma and making critical career choices (i.e. college, employment or vocational training). This unique program combines academic classroom instruction, tutoring, career exploration, case management, work readiness training, and subsidized internships. Students attend classes Monday through Saturday. In addition to YABC students accumulating credits toward graduation at an accelerated rate, they receive an elective credit for participating in paid internships. Our overall goal is to provide the students with internships that provide them with the skills necessary to pursue their individual career goals. Once all of the credits toward graduation have been completed students obtain a local and or regents diploma from their sending school.
