Summary

This bill would require the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ) to establish a program to support eligible young people to obtain employment or educational opportunities, including vocational training or an apprenticeship. A young person would be eligible for the program if they were 13 years old to 24 years old, residing in New York City, and had been incarcerated or in placement with the Administration for Children’s Services. MOCJ would be required to make best efforts to enroll an eligible young person while they are still in custody or placement. MOCJ would be required to coordinate with New York City Department of Correction and the Administration for Children’s Services to track outcomes of young people in the program.
