Hello Summer Work Program families. The program is almost coming to an end and the youth have worked hard on completing the many projects assigned to them. Our team continues to work to make this the best work experience for your child. I have weekly staff meetings with the mentors to discuss the accomplishments, plans for the upcoming week, and to evaluate and improve current processes. Together, we planned different activities and job assignments making sure there are a variety of tasks so the youth don’t become bored. The youth assigned to work at Zion Township have completed many projects and have learned the importance of keeping our community clean. The youth have also interacted with our seniors by completing small projects at residents’ homes. The youth assigned to the Zion-Benton Public Library, Zion Township office and Zion Assessor’s office, have done clerical work and customer service. All youth have learned the importance of being on time, and the commitment of getting the job done from start to finish. They also had the opportunity to be part of a building exercise and went on a field trip. We have one more week left of the program and there are still projects and activities scheduled for the youth to complete. We are celebrating the youth on the last day of the program. This will be during work hours. Everyone completing the program will receive a certificate of completion. Information about the event was sent home with the youth. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. Stay tuned for more updates.
