A program that promotes job readiness by introducing teens to the details of work life, such as the interview process, fundamental workplace skills and career development.
The Y’s Summer Teen Corps is a 7-week volunteer job readiness training program for teens. Designed to build solid workplace skills, teens will volunteer in one of the YMCA program areas and work side-by-side with staff in a program department (example: Member Services, Aquatics, Sports, Health & Wellness, ChildWatch, etc.) Teens will receive the benefit of having survived a mock interview and gain insight from having taken classes such as: Customer Service 101, Landing the Job, Professionalism, and Working with Children. Help others while helping yourself.
