Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP)

SYEP CareerFIRST

The SYEP CareerFIRST Program is designed to expand access to career readiness as well as summer youth employment opportunities for youth (age 14-24 years old) residing in select non-MAP NYCHA public housing complexes. As part of this strategy, CareerFIRST will provide work-readiness training and paid project-based or work-based experiences for NYCHA youth residing in these developments. Providers would work collaboratively with NYCHA developments and community-based partners to recruit and enroll program participants.

Special programming available for NYC youth through various service options:

  • NYC Teens ages 14—15 can participate in paid project-based activities which will help them explore different career opportunities
  • Young people ages 16—24 can apply for paid summer jobs in a variety of industries throughout NYC

Requirements:

  • Must be a resident of the five boroughs.
  • Legally allowed to work in the United States.
  • Must be a resident of one of the identified NYCHA developments
