Teen Life Internship Program

The Teen Life Internship program exists to provide leadership development opportunities for high school students through meaningful employment. Teens are employed in New City's After School Center and Summer Camp. This includes job training, performance evaluations, relational mentoring, life skills seminars and career exposure.

In addition to job and life-skills trainings, as part of New City's "college-bound culture," teens participate in SAT prep classes, academic tutoring, and a week-long college tour.

When considering urban teenagers, some have only negative images of listless teens loitering on a street corner. Our images are quite different. We see one hundred professionally-dressed kids lined up at our door, hungry for an opportunity to prove themselves. Each June, New City holds a three day job fair for any interested Jersey City teen. The fair consists of job readiness training (such as resume writing, professionalism and communication), role plays, and interviews. Teens gain a broad range of skills that make them more employable and more likely to succeed in the workplace.
