Through Kansas WorkforceONE’s Youth Work Experience program, local youth are gaining hands-on experience with the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas and the Boys & Girls Club of the Kickapoo Tribe this summer!

From helping lead classes and plan activities to supervising and engaging with children from the community, these young workers are building valuable skills in leadership, teamwork, communication and responsibility. 🙌

And the experience doesn’t stop when summer does! As the school year begins, some of these youth will continue supporting the Boys & Girls Club’s after-school program.

We’re proud to see our youth showing up, stepping up and gaining experience that can help shape their futures. 💙
