Calling All Organizations and Businesses: Empower Tomorrow’s Leaders with the Seattle Youth Employment Program
Seattle Human Services Department
We connect people with resources and solutions during times of need so we can all live, learn, and work.
Are you an organization or business wanting to give back to the local community by supporting the careers of young, future leaders? Do you know someone who is a great mentor, inspiring talent and success in their team?
The Seattle Human Service Department’s Seattle Youth Employment Program (SYEP) is seeking businesses and mentors to host interns this summer. Our mission is to support youth and young adults who live in and around the Seattle area in their early career development and professional growth. SYEP supports young people early in their professional careers by matching them with businesses in industries they are interested in. The goal is to provide youth with experiences and opportunities that prepare them for a promising career journey.
