Invest in the next generation of New York City’s workforce by joining the JobsFirstNYC network

In New York City, despite a decade-long trend of increasing gains in the labor market and rising educational attainment, the proportion of 16- to 24-year-olds who are both out of school and out of work has skyrocketed since the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, 138,029 young people were out of school and out of work in New York City, a rate of 20% for 18- to 24-year-olds—slightly higher than the rate in 2005, when JobsFirstNYC was founded to address this crisis.JobsFirstNYC’s mission is to create and advance solutions that break down barriers and transform the systems supporting young adults and their communities in the pursuit of economic mobility. To do this, JobsFirstNYC has developed more than 30 unique partnership models with 200+ partners across New York City and the State that have reconnected 15,000 young adults to education, training, and employment. Our solutions have collectively raised and leveraged over $30 million of public/private investment.

Your investment will directly support our capacity to strengthen economic opportunities for the most vulnerable young adults and will provide critical resources directly to the frontline organizations we work with every day. Join us to realize JobsFirstNYC’s vision of a dynamic and inclusive economy that advances economic mobility for all young adults and the communities they call home.
