Who Is Hiring at the Youth Development and Education Event

The official Jobs NYC event page describes it as a chance to meet the City of New York and other employers that support young people, and to learn about open positions and career paths in youth development, education and related fields.

Here is the honest part: the city has not published a list of participating employers or specific job titles. Nobody has announced a headcount. So walk in expecting conversations about the kinds of roles this sector hires for all year across the five boroughs, such as program staff, youth counselors, classroom support, and case work, and treat any specific opening as something to confirm in the room.

How the Time Slots Work

This is not a walk-in-and-wander job fair. Registration is required, and you choose one of five 30-minute sessions: 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30 or noon. The event itself is listed as running until 2:00 PM, but every bookable slot starts by 12:30, so plan around a morning arrival.

Book early. Register as soon as you can so you get the session time that works for you.
Bring a valid photo ID. Both the event page and the registration page call for it.
Print several resumes. If you have worked with kids or teens, put that experience near the top, paid or volunteer.
Dress for an interview. The city asks for professional or business attire because some employers may interview on site. Interviews are not guaranteed.
Need an accommodation? Email [email protected] at least four business days before the event.

Two Other Events at 2 Lafayette Worth Knowing About

Different event, different requirements. The same building hosts an FDNY hiring event that same Monday morning for EMT and EMS trainee roles, with its own registration and its own eligibility rules. If that is the job you want, read our FDNY EMT hiring event guide, which covers the requirements.

And if youth development is your field, NYC Children is also running hiring information sessions at the Jobs NYC Center for Youth Development Specialists and Special Officers, with a session on November 17, the day after this event. Our NYC Children hiring guide has the details.
