(Washington, DC) – On Monday, January 30 at 11 am, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Department of Employment Services (DOES) will kick off the 2023 Mayor Marion S. Barry Summer Youth Employment Program (MBSYEP) at The Village Café DC and announce the noon launch of this year’s application window.
The Village Café DC is a host employer for this year’s program and is co-owned by former MBSYEP participant Kevon King. Mayor Bowser will engage in a question-and-answer podcast with youth participants of the Deanwood Radio Broadcast Program, which partners with the Department of Parks and Recreation.
