The Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) helps young people to explore career opportunities, connect with professionals, and learn essential job readiness and workplace skills – all while earning money. Young people can participate in paid project-based activities which will help them explore different career opportunities, while older youth can apply for paid summer jobs in a variety of industries throughout NYC.

Internet access is required to participate in the Summer Youth Employment Program. If selected for the program, let your provider know if you do not have an internet-connected device, such as a smartphone, iPad, or computer.

Limited positions are available, so apply today! The deadline to submit applications is 4/22/2022. For more information, contact NYC DYCD Community Connect at 1-800-246-4646.
