YES envisions a world where all teens grow into flourishing adults, and our mission is to level, clear, and widen that path. We offer work-readiness training, support in finding employment, employment opportunities paid directly by us, and a leadership and civic engagement program. Some of our programs have eligibility requirements, but all teens in Tompkins County, NY who are 14+ qualify for at least some of our services.

This application is designed to be filled out by TEENS, not their parents/caregivers unless absolutely necessary. Please fill out this application to the best of your ability. We will also reach out to the references you provide, and send an online authorization form to your parent/caregiver.

Filling out this application does not guarantee placement or service. We will work with each teen to determine eligibility and will reach out if teens are placed on a waitlist and/or are not able to be served for any reason.
