YES IS HIRING!
|
Youth Employment Service (YES) is a program of the Ithaca Youth Bureau. We envision a world where all teens grow into flourishing adults, and our mission is to level, clear, and widen that path.
The YES Team is a dynamic, fast-paced, and highly collaborative bunch. We're passionate about making a life-changing impact on the teens we serve, striving to be the best possible youth employment provider on Planet Earth, and having a lot of fun in the process. We operate from a strength-based model of youth development, which means we meet teens where they are and focus on what they are doing right. |
|
Since we help teens learn more about the world of work, we feel it's important to be a model for them of what work can be. We believe we can (and should) always be improving, and that doing our best is much more fun than muddling through. We work collaboratively and value trust, transparency, candor, and kindness.
We work with all youth and prioritize access to our services for those who need it most, including youth facing multiple barriers to engagement and youth who are members of historically marginalized groups. Individuals who bring a diverse perspective and are supportive of our equity-first program model are strongly encouraged to apply.
