NYC: Council Member Mathieu Eugene Say’s “Get Application for Summer Youth Employment Now — Deadline April 10th!”

Dear Friends,

Yesterday, the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development (DYCD) started accepting applications for the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP).

SYEP provides youth between the ages of 14-24 with paid summer employment and job readiness training for up to 6 weeks in July and August.  The deadline to submit applications is April 10, 2015.

Programs are located in community-based organizations across the five boroughs and participants are selected by lottery.  DYCD also offers specialized programming for disabled, foster care, runaway/homeless and court-involved youth.

 

I would appreciate it if you would help me spread the word about this important program and encourage youth and their families to apply.

 

For Youth:

Youth can apply for the program online or at a community-based organization during the application period. 

For Community-Based Organizations:

Community-based organizations interested in becoming a SYEP provider or worksite can apply online here.

Additional information about SYEP, including applications and flyers, can be found on DYCD’s website at www.nyc.gov/dycd.

If you have any questions about the program, please send an email to meugene@council.nyc.gov.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Council Member Mathieu Eugene
