How to Apply to NYC SYEP/ Summer Youth Employment Program Application 2023

[@AttnBusyMoms]

I just got approved as a work place. I got absolutely no information about the 2 interns that are starting today. Thank goodness we sent them a job application. Apparently they have been in syep for years, but have 0 skills. I’m all about mentoring young moms but syep should have given me some information so I would at least know what to train them in before they start. They should share all the info they asked for in the syep application.

[@JourneyWithJordana]

I'm sorry that happened like that. I'm glad you were able to follow up with your own application. And can I just say, thanks so much for giving them a chance to grow in experience, skill & mentorship. I'm sure it meant a lot to them.

[@AttnBusyMoms]

@@JourneyWithJordana it meant a lot to me too! 😍 We mentor a lot of young single moms.

I’m trying to login into hats and ladders for my syep orientation but when promoted it says either my date of birth or application id is incorrect. Hell please🙏🏾

[@jesse-ce8dv]

If I dont live in NYC but live about 40 minutes away and I'm able to do the commute am I still eligible?

[@plyvrrrr]

today was the first day of work and i didn’t get accepted 😕 i really wanted to work this summer. my older friends said last year they extended the lottery so some of them started working around July 12th. i’m still waiting hopefully something happens

[@Marcosplayzs]

How old are you,?

[@iwantfood9725]

Hey how do I edit my date of birth I can’t edit it I put the wrong one

[@JourneyWithJordana]

When you go to the site ( application.nycsyep.com/) use the option to "view/edit your application" If that doesn't work try calling 1800 246 4646.

[@iwantfood9725]

Thanks I did but barley anyone picks up but someone did and told me they couldn’t find my application

[@IsaacRBLX]

For the email would you use your school email or your personal email?

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi! You can use either. I tend to encourage setting up a professional personal email and using it for everything outside of school because you never have to worry about losing access to it, but you can use whichever email you're more likely to check😉😀. Good luck!

[@patriciac5494]

What about carreer ready

[@lalabands268]

Hey I have a question I finish the application but it won’t let me pick a provider I’m confuse ? I’m trying to sign up for my 15 year old little sister

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi Lala! The last page before you pick a provider is the Summary Page. Does it say you've completed every section? Click on anything in blue & it will take you to the incomplete page. It won't let you continue to the provider page if something is missing. I hope that helps. Let me know how it goes.

[@viose_07tv28]

After I completed my application I got a email saying it was incomplete and I have to do a essay about “ life even that has change my life” and more…

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Congratulations!!! It sounds like you're eligible for Ladders for Leaders!! If you log back in you'll be able to track your progress on that application. You might want to type and have someone proof read your essay ahead of time & then copy and paste it in the app. They're also going to ask you to upload a resume and transcript. Like I said in the video, it's more work to apply BUT it's definitely WORTH IT. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions. I'm so happy for you!!

when did the application go out for SYEP for a 16 yo.? Do parents have to earn a certain income?

[@JorgeGarcia-xz9yr]

Hi Jordana, thanks for your videos and time. My son missed the deadline to apply. Do you have any other resources where he can still apply. Please advise anything is appreciated. Regards

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi Jorge, I'd check Indeed, SimplyHired, and LinkedIn. Here's the link for other programs like SYEP: www.nyc.gov/site/dycd/services/jobs-internships.page. You might also want to contact his school counselor abd ask about summer opportunities in general. Some may not be paid but they could be great learning experiences that will pay off later😉. Sending good luck to your son!

[@JorgeGarcia-xz9yr]

Truly appreciate coming across all your videos full of guidance. Thank you and blessings

[@someonecute22]

When is Results gonna be shown ?

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi! It depends on the program you applied to. You may need to check with your referral agency or your school. But if you did a general application & applied to a community based provider, it's a lottery system. Keep checking. You'll see an application status update when you log in & they'll contact you to come in for orientation. I cant give you a date other than the start date July 5th because they keep doing lotteries until all the sets are taken.

[@crazykeet1953]

Hi, i had a gpa of 3.0 but it recently just lowered will anything happen? i already completed hats & ladders and received the worksite options and im worried that it will affect my chances to get the jobs i wanted.

[@g0rrg4lici0us]

Hey, is it possible to get college credits while doing SYEP? I've heard about it but don't know if it's true, thanks!

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Whew!😅 I had to do some digging to answer your question😂 Most SYEP programs just pay students. But some of SYEP's CareerReady programs (which work with specific high schools- for list see timestamp or link) DO set students up to take College Now classes through CUNY for credit. CUNY & SYEP once collaborated on a summer bridge program for graduating seniors in certain housing developments to give college credit. I don't know if they're doing it again but if you're eligible check with New Settlement, Cypress Hills and Good Shepherd. **BUT if you don't go to one of those schools or live in one of those developments, you can ask your counselor at your HS & they can set you up for local College Now classes for credit too😉 Sending you good luck!🌠

[@methulimalimage1929]

I got enrolled in the SYEP program and I remember I picked United Activities Unlimited-CareerReady. I will be attending the SYEP orientation next week Tuesday. So after the orientation, they will send me a link to do the hats and ladders right? because I'm a bit confused about the last steps that I need to do after the enrolment. btw thank you for the information.

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi Methuli! CONGRATULATIONS!!!🎉🎉 Keep an eye on your account to see if they post additional info but yes, they'll probably send you the link. If you want to starta Hats & Ladders account now, you only need to enter your Email address & your SYEP ID or Application ID at app.hatsandladders.com/dycd and click "Start".

Hi, You can check your application status when you log back in. Check your summary page. Anything in blue is incomplete. If they wont let you edit because it's all complete, could you be missing some documents? Check the document checklist & make sure you've uploaded everything they're asking for.

Hi its ask for mygpa andim not sure where to find my gpa on my report cards or transcript help pls

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi Patricia! Your GPA is just another way to say your average. You might find it under cummulative average on your transcript. In general, 90's or A's are 4.0, 80's or B's are 3.0, 70's or C's are 2.0.

[@jackie.8106]

Hello I have a question how can I do my application again if I was already in the program last year.

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi Jackie! That's so great you did it last year!😀 Everything starts over again- fresh each year. So if you got in because you were referred you can just go back to the people who referred you & ask them to do it again & get a pin #. If you got in because you submitted the online application, you can just apply again online. There are no guarantees, because it's a lottery but they'll do drawings a few time until all the jobs are filled. Sending you good luck!🌠

How do I get another provider to contact me I picked the wrong one ☝️ n they haven’t picked me yet 😭it says submitted didn’t reciprocate an email or phone call

[@JourneyWithJordana]

Hi Sherina, I'm sorry that happened. Normally you might be able to "revoke" your SYEP application and start a new application to change the provider but the deadline to submit new applications has passed. In the official FAQs SYEP says you can't change your provider after your app is submitted. Try contacting them at [e-mail] or call 1-800-246-4646 or 1-646-343-6800.

Some friends who were 15 said they took classes that were more about learning about work than working. If I'm going to do something like that where I don't work for a specific group, what provider do I pick?

Hi Keahi! Good news! If you're still 14 or 15 in July, you're application will automatically only give you providers who will give you project-based learning activities where you learn about career opportunities. Summer job providers won't be offered until you're 16 😀

I'm so sorry. I haven't seen a request for an "el barrier letter." I don't know what that is. Unless you are eligible for EL as in the emerging leaders program for youth facing "particular barriers, such as being Homeless & Runaway (Residing in Shelters), Justice/Court Involved, Foster Care, or Receiving Preventive Services through ACS, or HRA cases." And in that case they're asking for a letter from someone helping you in that situation to confirm that you're receiving services. Could that be it?
