2011-2012 program-wide graduation
On May 8, 2012, MYEEP held a Program-Wide Graduation at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. We had over 300 MYEEP participants, worksite supervisors, family, and friends in attendance. The celebration was amazing with performances by our youth from Jewish Vocational Service and Horizons Unlimited - two of our collaborative agencies - and an uplifting talk from motivational speaker Prentice Powell. We ended the festivities with a buffet-style meal featuring cuisines from different cultures. We are very proud of this year’s MYEEP Graduates and wish them the best of luck in all their future endeavors!

2012 university day
Annually, the Mayor’s Youth Employment and Education Program hosts an event that provides the opportunity for a 100+ youth to discover college life. Over the course of one Saturday afternoon, youth and their chaperones combed the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, competing in a fierce, multi-group scavenger hunt. The participants were challenged to locate various locations on campus and snap group photos in the most creative manner possible. The list of locales was cleverly created to expose the youth to the quintessential elements of college life: searching through the library stacks, dormitory living, strolling through the student union, and even finding a cure for the common malady at the health center. In addition to exploring all corners of Cal, youth had a chance to interact with current Cal students, professors, and other community members on campus. Participants talked to students living in the dorms as well as campus staff on how to join a sports team.
At the end of the day, albeit tired, hot and sweaty, the participants and their chaperones had an awesome time. The evidence is all in the photos!
Attending weekly workshops has created a safe environment for me to learn, have fun, and make new friends. Being a part of MYEEP has allowed me to grow, and become a mature and responsible young adult.
