The Summer Youth Employment Program provides New York City youth between the ages of 14 and 24 years 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, the Department of Youth and Community Development employed approximately 30,000 participants and placed them at 5,677 worksites.
