Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP)

Young people aged 14-24 can now apply to DYCD’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP).

SYEP is the nation’s largest youth employment program, connecting NYC youth with career exploration opportunities and paid work experience each summer. Participants have the opportunity to explore their interests and career pathways, develop workplace skills, and engage in learning experiences that help develop their social, civic, and leadership skills.

To apply, visit nyc.gov/syep. Employers can also apply to hire NYC youth through SYEP.

We appreciate you sharing this message with interested young people and families, and within your community networks. If you need graphics and suggested text for your communications, please email [email protected] for the latest toolkit.
