New York Youth Works
Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby hosted a meeting at Hempstead Town Hall with New York State Department of Labor and community leaders concerning the New York Youth Works Program, a statewide program to combat the unacceptably high unemployment rates among inner city youth in communities across New York. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo signed the NY Youth Works Program into law on December 9, 2011 to encourage businesses to hire unemployed and disadvantaged youth. The program will support job training and employment for eligible youth ages 16 to 24 who live in Albany, Buffalo, New York, Rochester, Schenectady, Syracuse, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Utica, Yonkers; and Towns of Brookhaven and Hempstead.
