Youth Employment Center
Dare to Succeed
"I didn't know what I wanted to do or where to start, but I knew I needed to get a job. The staff at Job Corner got to know me and then taught me how to get a job where I could do something I liked to do. Now, I'm getting paid to be a dance teacher for kids, and I love it! The Job Corner is also helping me finish high school soon. They really care about me achieving my goals."
- Michael, 19
What is the Job Corner?
The Job Corner is a helpful and friendly place where youth ages 14-21 can get help finding a job, exploring careers, and learning about options for life after high school. Employment assistance is provided at no charge, as well as many other resources to help young people succeed.
