SYEP Memberships

New York City's Department of Youth and Community Development’s Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) connects young people from all over the city with paid work experiences and career exploration opportunities. Every year, Citi Bike supplies up to 1,200 free two-month Citi Bike memberships for people participating in SYEP so young people can get to their jobs, explore their city, and have fun.

How it Works
To unlock the membership, SYEP participants join a virtual Citi Bike training session about how to use the bike share system and how to ride safely. Memberships are active for the entirety of the SYEP employment period.

Get Involved
All SYEP participants aged 16–24 are eligible to apply through your provider (the organization that collects your timesheets). Please check with your provider for further instructions.
