Want to make some extra money but you’ve never had a job before and don’t know anybody hiring? If you’re between 15 and 18 years old check out our Summer Jobs for Youth Program and you could land a summer paycheque (and some experience for your resume).
With the Youth in Policing Initiative, teens between 14 and 17 years old have a chance to spend the summer working for their local Police. The program gives youth summer jobs working in everything from the canine to forensic units.
There’s a chance you might run into our youth outreach workers at your favourite place to hang out like the mall or the park. We understand you might not know where to get help so these outreach workers will come to you – they’ll help you get info on the programs and services in your area.
The School-Based Prevention/Diversion Program has a hard-to-understand name but it’s made sense to a lot of young people already. It’s a partnership between police and health and community agencies that helps high school students who have gotten in trouble with the law do better in school. This year the program is offered in 18 communities across Ontario .
YouthConnect.ca – This website is also part of the Youth Opportunities Strategy. It provides all youth in Ontario with information about services and resources. |
