Summer Youth Employment Program opens 2025 applications
NEW YORK (PIX11) – It’s never too early to start thinking about the summer and for young people who may want a summer job, now is the time.
Applications for New York City’s Summer Youth Employment Program are open through Feb. 28. The annual program connects young people between the ages of 14 to 24 to career exploration opportunities and paid work experiences in the summer.
Young people interested in applying for the program should live within the five boroughs and should be legally allowed to work in NYC.
Through the program, participants will not only get hands-on paid job experience, they will also learn financial literacy skills and can take part in paid project-based activities.
The Summer Youth Employment Program has been helping to give young people workplace experience since 1963.
