Eglin NYC Gives Youth a Second Chance Program
About 30 area youths participate in the Eglin Neighborhood Youth Corps at Eglin AFB aimed at high school dropouts in Okaloosa and Walton counties. For 15 months the program has shown success under coordinator Nancy Whitaker, with eight hours classroom instruction and 30 hours weekly on the job training paid at $1.60. Participants may earn a GED and pursue college or jobs, with followup to reintegrate dropouts. Many base units already employ NYC workers and the program is funded by the Federal Government and Florida state.
