Today the Center for an Urban Future released my new commentary on New York City's Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) Please give it a look.
The piece reviews the dramatic expansion and improvements of this classic program over recent years, led by the dedicated team at the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development, and tries to set out a direction for finishing the work of converting SYEP into a powerhouse of career readiness for young New Yorkers.
This is my first bylined piece since leaving City service last September. Sincere thanks to Jonathan Bowles and the whole team at CUF. It's an honor and a delight to be writing again for an organization that has meant so much for my career, and done so much good for NYC.
