Neighborhood Youth Corps

The Neighborhood Youth Corps was a government program initiated in the 1960s to provide job training and employment opportunities for young people, especially in urban neighborhoods with high unemployment. It aimed to help youth develop work skills, earn income, and stay engaged in positive activities during their summer or after-school hours. The program also sought to encourage community development by involving local organizations and businesses. Overall, it was designed to support young individuals in gaining work experience while improving their neighborhoods and reducing youth unemployment.
