• RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS/SYSTEMS CHANGE AND PUBLIC POLICYPROGRAM DESCRIPTION: USING THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM OUR ON-THE-GROUND PRACTICE AND ROBUST RESEARCH, WE SHAPE INNOVATIVE POLICIES THAT IMPROVE ACCESS TO ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES. JOBSFIRSTNYC FOCUSES ON POLICY CHANGE TO PREPARE YOUNG ADULTS FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK THROUGH A SINGLE-SYSTEM STRATEGY THAT EMBRACES FOUR KEY ELEMENTS: 1. DATA INFORMED - USES AND SHARES DATA TO: (A) DETERMINE LEVEL AND TYPE OF INVESTMENT; (B) INFORM STRATEGIES FOR SPECIFIC SUBGROUPS; AND (C) MEASURE SYSTEM EFFECTIVENESS.2. COORDINATED FUNDING - ALIGNS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDING TO COORDINATE ALL SERVICES AND OPPORTUNITIES.3. EASY USER ACCESS - KEEPS THE END-USER IN MIND BY FOSTERING A "NO WRONG DOOR" APPROACH AND HAVING A "ONE-STOP SHOP" ONLINE PLATFORM AND SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL THAT CONNECTS YOUNG ADULTS TO OPPORTUNITIES ACCORDING TO THEIR INTERESTS, SKILLS, AND NEEDS.4. RESPONSIVE PROGRAM DESIGN - FEATURES LONGER ON-RAMPS AND OFF-RAMPS CONNECTED TO SOCIAL SERVICES AND CASE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT THAT MORE ACCURATELY REFLECTS THE INTENSIVE NEEDS OF OUT-OF-SCHOOL, OUT-OF-WORK YOUNG ADULTS. BY SUPPORTING YOUNG ADULTS ACROSS A CONTINUUM, SUCH A SYSTEM SHOULD: INTERVENE WHILE YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE MOST AT RISK OF BECOMING OUT OF SCHOOL AND OUT OF WORK ARE IN HIGH SCHOOL; CONNECT CURRENT OUT OF SCHOOL, OUT OF WORK YOUNG ADULTS TO EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES; AND, ADVANCE YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE MARGINALLY CONNECTED TO EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO ENSURE THEIR FINANCIAL SECURITY AND INDEPENDENCE.

  Expenses $306,732 · Revenue $566,352

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Listed in Part VII

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
