New York City Mayor Eric Adams held a press conference to reaffirm his administration’s commitment to the NYC Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) with the addition of 100,000 more job opportunities for NYC youth. 

The NYC SYEP is one of the nation’s largest programs of its kind, working to connect young people from ages 14 to 24 with career exploration opportunities and paid work experience every summer. Young people have the chance to explore interests in different career fields all while developing workplace skills, engaging in opportunities to develop civic, social and leadership skills and the opportunity to get paid for their work.
