Youth Employment Service of Scarsdale, or Y.E.S., is open for business. For over 40 years, Y.E.S. has been providing, at no charge, a jobs clearinghouse service for Scarsdale youth and Scarsdale businesses and residents.
Y.E.S. matches bright, reliable youth 14 years old and up with employers in homes and businesses in Scarsdale looking for help on a one-time, short-term or longer-term basis. Jobs run the gamut, from babysitting, tutoring, arts and crafts help, computer and office work to catering and birthday party help, gardening, leaf raking, snow shoveling and painting. Through its website, employers and students can post and access job opportunities online 24/7.
In addition to the website, Y.E.S. maintains an office at the high school, open Monday through Friday 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM during the school year.
Y.E.S. is not affiliated with the high school or funded by the school district or any PTA or other organization. Y.E.S. is a stand alone, nonprofit community organization run entirely by parent volunteers and dependent solely on donations from the community to cover its costs to provide its services, primarily for website maintenance. Donations of any size are welcome and may be given online, at http://scarsdale.ny.hs-ses.com, or by mail to Y.E.S. at 2 Brewster Road. Anyone wishing to volunteer a couple of hours once every few weeks at the Y.E.S. office at the high school should contact [email protected].
Through its unique service, Y.E.S. offers the young people in our community the experience and responsibility of holding a job while helping local employers fill their needs.
