Summer Youth Employment Program Applications Now Open!

The Summer Youth Employment Program provides New York City youth between the ages of 14 and 24 with summer employment and educational experiences that capitalize on their individual strengths, develop their skills and competencies, and connect them to positive adult role models.

SYEP Provides six weeks of entry-level work experience in a variety of jobs at community-based organizations, government agencies and private sector businesses.  

In 2012 DYCD employed approximately 30,000 participants and placed them at 5,677 worksites. 

Applications are now open, and the deadline is Friday, May 10. So if you know of a young person between the ages of 14 and 24 who desires a chance to earn money while gain real-world work experience, tell them about the program, download the application here, and tell them to submit the application before all of the job slots fill up.

Don't delay. Plan ahead to make sure your young one is productive this summer while earning a source of income!
