Tree Trust’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) is an entry-level program for youth ages 14-21 and runs for 9 weeks from June – August each summer. Participants earn a wage and learn trade skills working on outdoor construction and landscape projects in public spaces such as nature centers, parks, and trails. They also learn life skills, such as teamwork and good communication. Participants can earn a Tree Trust Certificate which includes units on Employability, Tool Identification, Worksite Safety, and Environmental Stewardship, and serves as a building block for future career advancement.
