ABOUT NEW CITY KIDS 

New City Kids is a place where children and teens come to experience love, life and transformation.  Our goal is to help children understand their God given value.  Not only do we expect children and teens to be leaders; we train for it.  All teens who come to New City Kids are given extensive training in leadership and other life skills.  All teens are invited to become involved in our various worship bands, professional visits, performing arts opportunities and small groups.  Our hope is to be able to walk the road of life with a child from age 6 to 18 and set them on a path of life transformation that will stay with them long after their last day at New City Kids.


THE AFTER SCHOOL CENTER (ASC)

During the regular school year, New City Kids operates an after school center that includes an art and music component as well as academic support.  Children are given the opportunity to choose classes based on their interests (keyboards, drums, bass, ESL, etc.)  For one hour, students attend their class; for a second hour, they complete homework with an assigned tutor.  Tutors are coached by New City Kids  adult staff, while teen performing arts teachers are taught by a professional musician once a week in both music and music teaching.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305

Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
