What does TYJC do?

TYJC is an employment program designed to connect at-risk youth to the work place through employment, school and/or training.  We work with at-risk youth, between the ages of 16-29 who are out of school and out of work, to develop important life and work skills that will ensure future employment success.

The first phase of the program is called Pre-placement. During pre-placement you will:

· become a paid member of a five-week Community Painting Project,

· get the opportunity to explore your strengths, increase stability in your personal life and receive feedback from staff on how you can be the type of worker you want to be, and

· be paid a training stipend of $250/week (based on attendance) and be provided with TTC to and/from TYJC.

The second phase of the program is called Placement. During placement, you could:

· receive an up to 24-paid job Placement with an employer in the community tied to your interests and skills, and

· receive ongoing support from staff to ensure you're developing skills during this on-the-job training opportunity.
