EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Mayor’s Youth Employment and Education Program
The Mayor’s Youth Employment and Education Program (MYEEP) is the largest after-school youth employment program in San Francisco. Prospective youth must be between the ages of 14-18 years old, a resident of San Francisco and enrolled in high school or a GED program.

MYEEP aims to develop job skills, provide experiences that increase career awareness and future employability, increase knowledge of educational opportunities and promote community involvement. Youth work up to 10 hours during the school year (October-May) and up to 20 hours during the summer (June-August).

Through the MYEEP program, Horizons provides employment and job readiness opportunities to approximately 150 youth per annum.

New Directions Employment Program
Horizons is a member of the New Directions Employment Program (NDEP) which is a city-wide employment program that provides comprehensive job training, employment and educational services to 175 San Francisco youth on active probation. NDEP assists youth in their development in becoming self-sufficient adults. The program's structure provides youth with valuable work experience and training that enhances their employability skills and career awareness while supporting their overall development. The program places youth in subsidized after-school and summer employment opportunities under the guidance of volunteer supervisors who structure work-based learning opportunities. This experience is supplemented by program activities such as leadership development, community service and educational support.
