Hire an NYC crew because:
- You help youth; teens working with NYC learn the meaning of pride, responsibility, and hard work.
- We're easy to work with; on-site project modifications are never a problem.
- It's simple; an existing pre-approved form to implement the Region IV agreement.
- It's cost effective; we are always competitive, often cheaper, and you avoid costly contract administration.
- You're concerned with quality; we teach youth how to do a quality job, one in which they can take pride.
- You need a big job done fast; NYC offers an enthusiastic labor force capable of completing jobs quickly.
What kind of work can an NYC crew do?
NYC crews can complete nearly any outdoor project requiring large amounts of manual labor. NYC staff have the training and experience to coordinate youth crews on a wide variety of projects.
