Fifty randomly selected participants between fourteen and sixteen attend Work, Learn, and Grow-- a program created by New York City Department of Youth and Community Development-- for nine hours a week and learn about the nuances of being an adult in today's society. We have guests in varying fields to speak to us so as to give us insight on what we would want to go to college to study. It is a way to prepare young adults for the upcoming change and added responsibilities in our lives.
