About Program

Prepare yourself for your career.  

The Mayor’s Youth Employment and Education Program (MYEEP) is a teen workforce development program. San Francisco youth between the ages of 14- 17 are employed and engage in job readiness training, youth development workshops, educational activities, and personal development opportunities. In addition to work experience, the program supports youth as they transition towards successful adulthood by strengthening their understanding of the connection between employment and education and the responsibility of adults to contribute positively to society.

School Year Session: In progress Mon- Thurs 4:00pm - 7:00pm
Summer Session: 7 weeks

The Buchanan YMCA is a collaborative member of MYEEP, a program housed by the Japanese Community Youth Council, and funded by the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families.  

Program Highlights

Participants in our School Year Program will receive academic mentorship weekly. Youth will have homework space, access to computers, and one-on-one or small group tutoring. Academic Mentors work with youth to maintain their GPA requirements and teach skills in organization, test taking, and more.

MYEEP prepares youth for their internships through a series of training workshops. During these workshops, youth will build competencies and skills so they will have the ability to thrive in the workplace.
