Dear Mayor Eric Adams, After food and shelter, afterschool, summer programs, and youth employment are essential. They allow parents to work, teens to help cover rent & food bills, and enable kids to develop skills to solve big problems. Please restore funding. #afterschoolisessential

NYC teens are indomitable and we are so proud to have been a part of this effort to reimagine and #SaveSYEP. Mayor Eric Adams the youth have done the heavy lifting. Now it's up to you to say yes. Teens Take Charge nydailynews.com/coronavirus/ny…

Each year, NYC's Summer Youth Employment Program provides ~75,000 students with meaningful, paid work experience. Now more than ever, SYEP is not only a vital resource to communities hit hardest by COVID-19, but also key to our economic recovery. #SaveSYEP nytimes.com/2020/06/29/opi…

I joined AM Hevesi, Sen. Montgomery, Assemblywoman Jaffee and 71 colleagues calling upon Gov. to release funding for the 2020 Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). To not will leave thousands of at-risk youth across the state without work this summer. #FundYouthNYC & #SaveSYEP

"When you’re proud of your work, when it’s beautiful, you’re motivated to work harder. Kids practice their gymnastics, practice their flute, practice their soccer skills because they want to be great. Not to be proficient. And I feel like that’s what school should be about."

"Reimagining learning also connects with our goal of graduating students who are civically engaged and equipped to be positive forces for change in our communities & our city. - Chancellor David C. Banks Banks.

NOW OPEN: Applications for the Summer Youth Employment Program! There are 100,000 open positions to New Yorkers aged 14-24. Apply today: on.nyc.gov/SYEPapplication
