The teen life internship employs high school students in intensive yearround jobs in New City Kids' after school centers. This gives youth the responsibility to be trusted teachers and tutors for younger students while providing them with job training, mentorship, mental health support, academic support, musical and artistic education, and college and career readiness assistance. High school students earn money, gain real work experience, change the direction of their own lives, and ultimately become role models for the children they teach. Young people emerge from New City Kids equipped to pursue dreams of higher education and prepared for future employment.
