Summer Youth Employment Program recipients. These youths were
provided summer paid work experience with real employers.

The Trinity Summer Youth Employment Program is for young people in our church and community, who are willing to be mentored and tutored in career and character development, as well as a paid employment opportunity. We want to provide the youth of our community, (15-22 years of age) with an opportunity to prove to themselves, their families and their employer just how well they can work in a real work environment, in a paid position. For many young people this may be their first work experience other than home or school. SYEP provides professional workshops to acquaint the Intern with what it means and how to be gainfully employed.

This intern/job experience program has been made possible since 1997 through the generous commitment and concern of the members of Trinity Baptist Church.

In order to provide authentic work experience SYEP has partnered with employers throughout the Los Angeles area. Trinity’s congregation funds each position where an Intern is placed. The Intern completes and the coordinator insures that all of the required paperwork is properly completed before they are sent to an employer. We certainly encourage companies/organizations to match each job funded by Trinity Baptist Church or pay the employee directly for the position assigned.

Each Intern attends Work Preparation Seminars and Character & Career Conferences (Personal Communication, Job Interview Skills, Attitude/Hygiene, and Dressing for Success, Resume Writing, Cultural Diversity, Self Esteem and Conflict Resolution, Personal Finances/Budgeting) that provide them with the necessary tools to handle the responsibility of work.
