Exalt, a New York City nonprofit that places justice-involved youth in paid internships, presented a proposal to replicate its model in Syracuse. The organization described a pilot to serve 65 young people across five short “cycles,” paid stipends (noted as $18/hour in the core internship phase), and a diversified funding package including a DCJS grant and local philanthropic support. Council members and city officials pressed on referrals, eligibility, staffing, evaluation, and coordination with existing Syracuse nonprofits; Exalt said it would prioritize voluntary participation, court referrals, and a year-one evaluation by MDRC.
