THE NEWARK YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROJECT (NYLP) COMPONENT OF THE CONSERVANCY'S JOB TRAINING PROGRAM PROVIDES SUPERVISED TRAINING IN LANDSCAPING, HORTICULTURE, EDUCATION AND OFFICE ADMINISTRATION FOR UP TO 25 NEWARK HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH EACH YEAR, SEEKING TO INCREASE EMPLOYABILITY. THE PROGRAM PROVIDES PARTICIPANTS WITH A SAMPLE OF CAREER OPTIONS IN VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL FIELDS, AN APPRECIATION FOR THEIR URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PURSUING HIGHER EDUCATION. IN JANUARY 2016, THE CONSERVANCY LAUNCHED ITS CITY BLOOM LANDSCAPING INITIATIVE, WHICH IS A FEE-FOR-SERVICE LANDSCAPING BUSINESS THAT GENERATES REVENUE TO HELP SUPPORT CONSERVANCY PROGRAMMING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDING JOB TRAINING EXPERIENCE FOR EX-OFFENDERS.
