Evanston youth ages 14 to 18 years are encouraged to find their perfect summer job by participating in the 2023 Mayor’s Summer Youth Employment Program (MSYEP). This year, to enhance the hiring experience for youth and employers, the City will host two jobs fairs well in advance of the summer season, allowing participants to secure summer employment earlier than ever. The first job fair will take place:

Friday, November 11, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Robert Crown Community Center, 1801 Main St.

Freshman and sophomore students are invited to attend the fair from 9 a.m. to noon, and junior and senior students from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. A second job fair is scheduled for Friday, January 6, with the location to be announced later this winter.

Student registration

The MSYEP is open to all Evanston youth ages 14 to 18 who live in zip codes 60201 or 60202. Participants must register in advance to participate in the job fair at cityofevanston.org/summerjob by November 7, 2022. For questions, students should contact msyep@cityofevanston.org.

Employer registration

Interested employers must complete the 2023 MSYEP Job Request Form or visit cityofevanston.org/MSYEPemployer by November 7, 2022.  This first Job Fair will prioritize employers who have participated in MSYEP in the past but is not exclusive to first-time employers.
