EAST HARLEM, NY — A food truck that hires formerly incarcerated young people in order to teach them how to find success in the hospitality field is coming to East Harlem and accepting applications for its paid fellowship program, a neighborhood business group announced.

Brooklyn-based organization Drive Change is partnering with the CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Heath Policy and Uptown Grand Central to host an awareness day in East Harlem, according to Uptown Grand Central's newsletter. The organization will serve food and raise awareness about its work and issues such as food insecurity and mass incarceration.

Applications for Drive Change's 2020 fellowship class are open until Feb. 14. The organization pays $15 per hour for a 35-hour work week. Applicants must have been directly impacted by the criminal justice system and must be between the ages of 18 and 25 to qualify for the eight-month program.
