Many other communities have park district summer programs and hire their local high school youth to work for these programs. Our local high school students do not have this opportunity in our community.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, for every year a person works in their teens, their income raises 14-16 percent in their 20s. When teens choose to have a job, employment teaches responsibility and good work habits, improves time management and organizational skills and helps them save money. 201 E.
