Governor visits Manual High School to recognize 216 C-SYEP students

216 Peoria youth participated in the COVID Summer Youth Employment Program (C-SYEP) funded by a State of Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) grant. C-SYEP matched young people, primarily PPS students and residents of 61605, 61603 and 61604, with Success Coaches who worked with them to write a resume, practice interview skills and develop employment skills. The participants were then placed in jobs with over 40 business partners, non-profit agencies, government offices and Peoria Public Schools. Grant funds paid their hourly wages while young people built job skills.
