The JOBWORX Summer Employment Program has wrapped up another successful year, welcoming high school students from across our community. This year’s group was exceptional! The students motivated, encouraged, and supported one another throughout the summer, and it was wonderful to see so many genuine friendships develop along the way.
Each morning, students gained valuable paid work experience at local businesses, and in the afternoons, they gave back to the community by completing volunteer hours. Fridays brought everyone together for a car wash and BBQ, with proceeds helping fund their year-end celebration.
By the end of the program, every student walked away with real-world work experience, an updated resume, money to help with back-to-school expenses, and, perhaps most importantly, new friendships and memories that will last well beyond the summer.
A VERY special thank you to this year’s employers! Your willingness to hire a student, provide them with an opportunity to learn new skills, and serve as a mentor is appreciated beyond words.
Your support makes this program possible and gives young people invaluable experience.
We are incredibly proud of this year’s JOBWORX students and grateful to everyone who helped make their summer such a success!
