Young Adult Borough Centers
ESS operates the Young Adult Borough Center (YABC) at Truman High School in the Bronx, an alternative high school program designed for students 17 years and older who are not on track to graduate on time. This program grants students academic credit for their work in internships during the day; they then attend classes four nights a week until they have accumulated sufficient credits to graduate with a diploma. In addition to academic support, mentoring, and computer training, these young people also attend workshops and seminars in personal and professional development, anger management, job readiness, business writing, and leadership.
