The City of Little Rock’s Summer Youth Employment Opportunity (SYEO), managed by the Department of Community Programs, offers six weeks of paid work experience for residents ages 16–21 from June to July. Participants work Monday–Thursday, 32 hours per week. About 66% of worksites are in City departments, state and county offices, colleges, and nonprofits, while 34% are with private-sector partners. Worksites host one to six interns per supervisor. For external sites, participants are paid by the City but report to the host organization.
