1. Program description
When you opt in to text messages from New York Center for Interpersonal Development, Inc. ("NYCID"), you will receive NYCID program and service notifications sent through the NYCID Solutions App. These include: NYC Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) notifications such as worksite placement updates, orientation and first-day reminders, required-document and timesheet alerts, and schedule or date changes; community notifications such as community events, free services, and volunteer opportunities; emergency service notices; information about NYCID's conflict resolution and crisis management services; and two-way replies to questions you send our program staff.
2. How you opt in
Opting in is voluntary. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of enrolling in or participating in any NYCID program or service, creating an account, or completing any transaction with NYCID. You can opt in in two ways: (1) by texting JOIN, START, or YES to (929) 441-6650; or (2) by checking a separate, optional, unchecked consent checkbox on NYCID enrollment forms and web signup pages — leaving the box unchecked has no effect on your enrollment. For participants who are minors, a parent or guardian provides the mobile phone number and gives this consent. See our Text Message Program Opt-In page for full details.
3. Message frequency
Message frequency varies based on program activity. During the active summer program you may receive several messages per week.
4. Message and data rates
Message and data rates may apply. Charges depend on your mobile plan and are billed by your wireless carrier.
5. Opting out
You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Text STOP to the number that messaged you. After you send STOP, we will send a final message confirming you have been unsubscribed, and you will receive no further SMS messages from us. To rejoin, reply START or re-enroll through NYCID program staff.
