**APPLICATIONS WITHOUT REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.**

Becoming a participant in the Baltimore County Youth Employment Program requires the collection of documents to place you on Baltimore County Government payroll. You must submit certain documents with your application. The instructions below allow you to upload your documents.

Baltimore County has created a process to upload your documents to a secure website rather than having to submit them in-person. Do not send these documents via regular email. You will need to save the documents on your desktop, smartphone, or tablet in order to upload them. You can scan the documents or photograph the documents on to your device. If you photograph the documents, make sure the picture is clear and they are saved as a jpeg, png, or pdf files. Name and save the documents individually in a location that is convenient for you to be able to upload them to the designated site, and upload each separately.

Uploading Employment Documents

• Open a browser with the desktop, smartphone, or tablet where you saved your documents.
• Navigate to 2023 Document Drop-off Site.
• Enter your email address in the From Box. This email address is the one we will use to contact you.
• Select Youth Services in the To Box.
• In the Captcha box, enter the letters or numbers you see above and click the check mark. Matching the letters/numbers may take multiple tries.
• Once the Captcha approves, navigate to the top of the page to Upload. You can now upload all the SYEP documents you saved. Please save individually. If you did not name them as suggested in the directions above, name them before uploading them.
