YES Application

We are currently enrolling teens for our YES Connect program. This program helps teens build work readiness skills, prepare professional documents, and conduct job searches in the community. This program does not pay teens directly to work with employers. For subsidized opportunities, please apply to the YES Summer Jobs Program in March of 2024.

In YES connect, teens work one-on-one with a member of the YES Team to achieve the work readiness targets of their choosing. Some teens complete several targets, others choose one to focus on. After the initial application, teens participate in an interview with YES staff to help give them experience with common job interview questions. Teens and staff then form their customized action plan to move forward on the teen's goals.

This program is free and open to all teens in Tompkins County, ages 14-21. We close enrollment for YES Connect if we reach staff capacity to serve teens with these appointments.
