Shaping Charlotte's Future Workforce One Youth at a Time  

The Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) was created to provide meaningful employment opportunities for Charlotte-area youth to gain a greater understanding of career demands, skill sets and qualifications for employment in business, industry and local government. 

How it works:

Students, ages 16-18 associated with local non-profit organizations including Communities in Schools, HELP and Right Moves for Youth are placed with host employers from the public and private sectors for a period of eight weeks. 

Prior to job placement, the youth complete a pre-employment training course as well as life skills development throughout the academic year. 

Job cycles last approximately eight weeks, with MYEP youth working a minimum of 20 hours a week for approximately $8.00 per hour.

We are currently seeking host employers for the MYEP.  If you are interested in helping to develop the future workforce of Charlotte, please contact Dawn Hill at (704)336-4445
