Out-of-School Youth (OSY)
The Out-of-School Youth (OSY) program serves eligible 16- to 21-year-old young adults who are not connected to school or work, and need assistance upgrading their educational and occupational skills. OSY programs are operated by community-based organizations in all five boroughs of New York City. They offer a combination of occupational/hard skills training in industries and sectors with growing demand for entry level workers. Programs also offer GED and basic skills instruction, work readiness training, case management, and supportive services.
