Applications for DC Summer Jobs will be available at 3:15pm on January 27!

 

Applications for Mayor Vincent C. Gray’s One City Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) will be available on Friday, January 27th at 3:15pm!

The SYEP is a locally-funded program administered by the DC Department Of Employment Services (DOES) Office of Youth Programs that provides summer jobs and work readiness training to District youth between the

ages of 14-21.

Applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis and all applications must be received by Friday, February 17, 2012 in order to be considered. Space is very limited as last year, only 12,000 youth were selected. Students who are interested in a summer job are encouraged to apply early and comply with all posted deadlines.

Youth may complete their application from any computer with an Internet connection. If you need assistance with your application or a place to access the Internet, you can attend Midnight Madness – an official SYEP application kick-off event. Midnight Madness will take place on Friday, January 27 from 3:15pm until 12:00 midnight at the DOES building (4058 Minnesota Avenue NE, adjacent to the Minnesota Avenue Metro station). DOES staff will be on hand to assist youth and their families and to answer any questions.

The 2012 SYEP will begin on Monday, June 25, 2012 and will end by Friday, August 3, 2012.
