DYCD’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) provides New York City youth between the ages of 14 to 24 with summer employment and educational experiences. Youth aged 16 and older work in a variety of entry-level jobs at community-based organizations, government agencies and private sector businesses and are paid for up to 25 hours per week for up to six weeks at the current New York State minimum wage of $15.00 per hour. Youth aged 14 and 15 are provided with project-based learning opportunities and paid a stipend. Both work-based and project-based learning experiences are designed to meet youths’ developmental needs and ensure New York City youth are better prepared for careers of the future.
