If you are a youth between the ages of 16-21 and interested in being contacted, please click here to take a quick interest survey.

The Summer Youth Training Program (SYTP) is designed to prepare young people for the world of work. This program only serves individuals between the ages of 14 and 21 years of age residing in Leon County who want to use their summer vacation to develop the knowledge, skills and abilities needed in a workplace environment. This program provides youth with an opportunity to earn money while gaining valuable work experience, skills-oriented training and career exposure. Summer youth applicants are able to choose from a variety of Leon County Divisions which include the Leon County Commissioners Offices, Library Services, Emergency Medical Services, Management Information Systems, Parks & Recreation and several others.
