The NYC Office of Nightlife at the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment launches NITE School, a series of monthly classes to educate the nightlife industry on how to open, operate and navigate City agencies as well as safety and harm reduction prevention and response training.

Register for upcoming Nightlife Industry Training and Education (NITE) School online courses:
