The National Youth Administration was part of the WPA. It paid students for "work study" programs at their schools and paid students for part-time work that included job training. It included both boys and girls. The students worked in construction or repair jobs. The NYA also ran programs for kids that were out of school. Wikipedia has an article dealing with the NYA.
