and "provide recreational experiences."

Teens - Don’t idle away your time
Build your work experience!

You’re a teen (13 to 17 years old) and you want a job, but you have no experience? And how can you get experience if you are unable to find employment? Turn in an application, pass an oral interview, and the Parks and Recreation Department will hire you as a Teen Volunteer. You’ll be provided with challenging and fun opportunities, given on-the-job experience, learn new skills, meet new friends, help others in the community, and gain in self-confidence.  Best of all, upon completion of a successful volunteer experience, teens may receive letters of recommendation, Certificates of Appreciation, media publicity about their volunteer activities, and special recognition (for those working 50 hours or more). Letters of recommendation may help a teen in the future in acquiring scholarships and/or employment.

     

Volunteens read to youth at 
the BEST Clubs

  

Teens will have an opportunity to build a resume as they donate their time as a youth sports coach, office aide, aquatics aide or as a leader at the BEST After School program.

Applications will be accepted on an on-going basis. For further information, stop by the Meitzenheimer Community Center, 830 S. Blackstone St., or call (559)684-4310.
