Youth Employment Program (YEP)

YEP is a community-sponsored program that provides opportunities for training, work and volunteer experiences that support future successful careers. In the past year over two-hundred students were involved, which is an increase of ten-percent over previous year!

Teens get to choose their own level of participation, attend workshops and courses, earn their own money and learn the value of effective communication, networking and community involvement.

YEP provides clients with quick and affordable help around their homes or businesses, and assists seniors who are physically limited or financially compromised. On-call, paid work experience is available in a variety of fields, including: yard maintenance, painting, carpentry, computers, household technology, clerical tasks, indoor cleaning, pet care, baby-sitting and more.

If you are between 14 and 18 years of age and attending School District #63, pick up an application package at your school career office, or click on the link below for an application form. There is no fee to enroll, but you will be encouraged to volunteer at community events. Monthly e-mails are sent out containing information about upcoming certificate courses and community volunteer opportunities.
