Jobs Found For 516
Young People By YES
State and dbciel service Job
placement agencies, working to
gether out of neighborhood cen
ters in Harlem and adjacent
areas, are making sizable in
roads into the ranks of unem
ployed school drop-outs, it was
reported this week.
In a Joint statement. Alfred
L Green, executive director of
the Youth Employment Service
(YES< of the New York State
Employment Service, and Ed
win K. Merrill, executive di
rector of The Children’s Aid
Society (CASi, said that during
1963 the cooperative efforts of
their organizations found jobs
for 516 young people who had
registered at Frederick Doug
lass Center, 885 Columbus Aven
ue, and Stephen Foster Center,
2 W. 115th St.
In addition to the 417 boys and
99 girls who were placed on
jobs, many more received voca
tional guidance and counseling
which enabled them to find and
hold Jobs on their own, the re
port said.
"At a time when thousands
of upper Manhattan youths who
are not in school are also un
employed. and many more are
potential school drop-outs, it is
heartening to be able to an
nounce the news of this success
ful attack op the problem,” the
statement read.

enable youngsters to continue
their education, and in the cases
of those who cannot or will not
remain in school it makes every
effort to find beginning jobs that

The Children’s Aid Society
has had a counseling and em
ployment department since 1933,
when it became necessary to
counsel and place youngsters
during the depression years.
Over the years, this department,
located in the Society's main
offices at 105 E. 22nd St.. Man
hattan. in addition to its cen
tralized employment functions,
has worked closely with each
of its children's centers, where
local personnel are engaged at
the neighborhood level.
Uptown Locations
When YES began to operate
throughout the cily, The Chil
dren's Aid Society made
arrangements for a YES coun
selor to work out of some of
its uptown locations wfcbre the
youth unemployment problem
was pronounced.
YES is represented by a spec
ial counselor. Miss Evelyn Free
man, at Frederick Douglass
Center on Tuesdays and Thurs
days, and at the Stephen Foster
Center on Mondays, Wednes
days and Fridays. The Society's
representative. Donald Diorio,
does Interviewing and placement
at the -Society's main offices-
Keeping in touch with each
other at all times. Mias Free
man and Mr. Diorio made thous
ands of contacts with pros
pective employers through tele
phone calls, letters, circulars
and personal visits. They found
Job opportunities in many fields.
Including shipping, stock, cler
ical, counter sales, delivery and
messenger work.
The employers, who were
found to be very cooperative,
represented offices, factories,
restaurants, supermarkets and
chain stores. Many of these in
dicated their satisfaction with
these services by repeatedly
calling on the two agencies for
help.
AU Year
Miss Freeman and Mr. Diorio
spend much of their time pre
paring boys and girls for work
throughout the year. They test
them, check their backgrounds,
advise them and follow up when
the youngsters are placed. They
also give vocational counseling,
including referrals to schools
and training-courses.
