Success doesn't come with a
manual, at least not a universal
one, but we’re here to help.
WTG is a paid, credit bearing training program for young adults in NYC who aren’t currently enrolled in college. WTG provides instruction in positive youth development, mental health support and professional skills. These new skills can equate to college credits or a promotion. Come earn and learn with WTG!
What is WTG?
The GAP represents the transitional space young people occupy following high school, when their future is full of possibilities, but those possibilities may feel overwhelming or unclear. WTG helps young people navigate that space and take the next step on their individual success journey.
We encourage young people to take control and make that gap work for them! We don't hand them a list of expectations and send them off. We walk alongside young people, offering paid training in community wellness and peer mental health while providing opportunities to earn college credits and engage in advocacy that lets them give back to their community.
But you don’t have to take our word for it. Listen to our alumni, Glenaisa, share her experience with WTG…
