Young Adult Borough Program

The Young Adult Borough Center/Learning to Work Center are part of the Department of Education’s commitment to providing overage and under-credited students, ages 17 1/2 to 21, with multiple pathways to graduation.

The Learning-to-Work program assists students in overcoming some of the obstacles that impede their progress toward a high school diploma and assists them with pursuing post-secondary employment and/or education.

The program provides enhanced academic supports and youth development support services, meaningful career and educational exploration experiences, work preparation and skill development, and internships.

After students complete all required course work and achieve required scores on the Regents examinations, they receive a diploma from their sending school.

The Young Adult Borough Center/ Learing to Work Program (YABC/LTW) is housed at Thomas Jefferson High School, 400 Pennsylvania Avenue, Brooklyn, New York. For more information on the services offered, or how to register for the YABC Program, please call 718.566.7156.
