NYC is for all newcomer youth
between the age of 13-24.
Not only is NYC a fun place to
integrate, but it’s also a place with a
lot of information and resources
specifically for youth. Educational
opportunities, career assistance and
recreational activities are just some of
the resources available. Information
on settlement issues important to
youth, such as transportation, health,
housing, volunteering, and
relationships, is readily available.
