In response to Hartford’s youth unemployment crisis, Mayor Bronin pledged during the first year of his new administration to partner with the community to connect Hartford’s young people to part-time, yearlong employment.
Since its launch in July 2016, The Mayor's Youth Service Corps (YSC) has provided 750 Hartford youth with an opportunity to earn a paycheck while strengthening neighborhoods.
YSC members receive yearlong, part-time employment with flexible scheduling. They work with a Youth Development Specialist on their personal and professional goals.
YSC members engage in community service-based projects designed to impact Hartford neighborhoods. Projects include free lawn care services or snow removal for Seniors & Disabled Residents.
By completing these projects, Youth Service Corps Members help build safer, stronger neighborhoods.
