The Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) provides New York City youth between the ages of 14 and 24 with paid summer employment for up to six weeks in July and August. CHLDC hosts an SYEP program along with organizations in all five boroughs of New York City. There are two types of SYEP, Career Ready SYEP and Community Based SYEP.
Use the guide below to see which program you qualify for. Once you know, click on the application button and begin. There will be a portion of the application that will ask you to identify which program you are applying for.
There are two types of SYEP programs every year:
Career Ready SYEP: Career Ready SYEP has partnerships with certain high schools and is not open to all of the public. Any high school student between the ages of 14 and 21 who attends ANY school at Franklin K. Lane or Thomas Jefferson, is eligible for Career Ready SYEP.
Community-Based SYEP: Community-Based SYEP applications are open to ALL youth between the ages of 16 and 24 years old, regardless of their school status. At the end of the application, youth will be prompted to choose a provider. If they would like to work with our agency, they must select Cypress Hills LDC as their primary provider before they submit their application.
