JobsFirstNYC is a brand that is dedicated to creating and advancing innovative solutions to overcome barriers and transform the systems that support young adults and their communities. They recognize the power of young adults and aim to unleash their economic potential. In order to achieve this, JobsFirstNYC focuses on employment, education, and neighborhood communities.

Their approach is based on a collaborative 5-step process. They begin by investigating and listening to the needs of young adults and their communities. They then imagine and develop community-inspired solutions.

Once the solutions are identified, they incubate and refine them into outcome-driven action plans. JobsFirstNYC then launches and implements these solutions, continuously evaluating their performance. Finally, they integrate their findings and knowledge into advancing what works.

JobsFirstNYC partners with various organizations including workforce and young adult advocates, service providers, transfer high schools, colleges, universities, investors, employers, intermediaries, and government agencies. Together, they strive to break down barriers and create transformative solutions that enhance economic opportunities for young adults
