Summer Youth Employment Program

 

Columbia Housing hosted its 2025 Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) during the month of July. Seventeen students, whose families are participants in one of Columbia Housing's affordable housing programs, experienced a variety of activities designed to give them their first exposure to working, career opportunities and community resources.

Columbia Housing is grateful to the program sponsor Truist Bank. In addition to sponsoring the program this year, Truist provided important financial literacy training to the students with an engaging financial simulator exercise .

WACH FOX 57 also featured the program on its weekly OnPoint show, Interim CEO Barry Hall and four of the SYEP participants were interviewed and described their experiences in the program. Click here to watch the segment.
