Seniors Help 'Seniors' in Scarsdale's Youth Employment Service

Scarsdale officials are talking up the village’s Y.E.S. program, which stands for Youth Employment Service, an effort designed to bring jobs to high school seniors.

The program teams high school students with Scarsdale residents and employers ’s to offer the students the chance to work. Officials recently sent out a email to residents touting the program for senior citizens, many of whom need help with certain tasks that students can provide.
