We're now accepting applications for our new program, Fostering Financial Success: [RE]FRESH. This is a skills training and job placement program for foster youth ages 15 to 20. The program will allow older youth to obtain job training and experience, demonstrate their ability to earn and save money, and finally, obtain jobs in the community.
Employment Skills/Job Training
Youth will learn the workings of a retail establishment in detail, including: receiving, merchandising, working the cash register, managing volunteers, customer service, inventory/stocking, marketing, and helping customers find exactly what they are looking for. Participants will take away valuable interpersonal and customer service skills that will be transferable to multiple industries.
Upcoming Fostering Financial Success: [RE]FRESH Workshops:
- 03.24.12 / noon to 2 p.m.
- 04.14.12 / noon to 2 p.m.
