Mayor's Youth Employment & Education Program
The Mayor's Youth Employment and Education Program (MYEEP) provides job readiness training, paid work experience, academic support, and personal development opportunities for San Francisco youth between the ages of 14- 17. The program targets youth with barriers to employment. MYEEP is implemented through a collaboration of ten community-based organizations.
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.
