Good afternoon,
I hope this message finds you well! On behalf of the Workforce Development Center, thank you for your continued partnership and for the important role you played in the success of the 2025 Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). Your willingness to host and mentor youth made a meaningful impact on the City of Alexandria community.
I am excited to share that business registration for the 2026 SYEP program is now live!
