Mission & Focus Areas
JobsFirstNYC’s mission is to create and advance solutions that break down barriers and transform the systems supporting young adults and their communities in the pursuit of economic opportunities.
Its stated focus areas include Work, Education, Community, and policy and systems change. Work Solutions seeks to improve outcomes for workers and employers through skills training, employer engagement, and customized workforce approaches. In 2024, JobsFirstNYC launched Community Inspired Networks for Change (CommunityINC), which it describes as a network of place-based workforce intermediaries and supportive workforce funder collaboratives intended to inform capacity building, investment, policy, and sustainability. Its policy work promotes a single-system strategy involving data-informed decisions, coordinated funding, easier access to services, and responsive program design.
In 2025, the listed grants were designated for “Signature Project.” Grantees included organizations whose stated missions address youth and family development, community services, education and career opportunities, and workforce mobility. For example, Good Shepherd Services says it works to expand opportunities in underinvested NYC communities through a youth and family development approach; Henry Street Settlement says it provides social services, arts, and health care programs for Lower East Side residents and other New Yorkers. Per Scholas describes its work as advancing economic mobility through training and employer connections, while NPower says it prepares young adults and military-connected individuals for technology careers.
