Can teens volunteer at my business during the hours they are not on the clock with YES?

NYS labor law prohibits volunteering at place of work, unless duties are significantly different. They  can volunteer once they're not on the YES payroll.

Do I need to write a comment in every box on the evaluations?

Yes, we use these evaluations to help teens in future job placements to provide references for them. We also use this as an accountability tool to show quantitative results to our funders and community stakeholders.
