Together We Can!
Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) serves youth who are 14 to 21 years of age. The program provides a mechanism through which eligible youth are able to earn money while gaining meaningful work experience, skills-oriented training, and career exposure. The SYEP provides an array of summer enrichment experiences that consists of Arts, Design and Media, Building and Grounds Maintenance, Community and Social Services, Construction Trades, Education, Training and Library Science, Health Care Support, Hospitality and Tourism, Office and Administration Support and Sports and Physical Education.
This year's program will operate from June 17 through August 21, 2009. The nine week program has launched several new features this year. Participants were able to register online, select their jobs, and locate important information about their worksite via our website.
Please Note: Effective July 24, 2009, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Please remember in pay period 4 (7/19-8/1), only six work days will be at the new federal rate.
