One of the mentored luncheons in the 'Job Corps' program for 13-16 year olds. A Pilot Program that was very successful and begun by local businesses, AmeriCorps Pinellas, Largo Recreation Department, and the Rotary Club. We are proud of our young people. The particpants were given training workshops in job application skills, resume writing, mock interviewing, actual work experiences working in various settings, and a choice of rewards at the end of the program totalling a predetermined amount for each participant. Participants chose from: clothes for school, school supplies, gifts for family, gifts for themselves, items they would not normally have gotten if not for this program.

Another of the features of the Job Corps, the "Dress for Job Success" fashion show and luncheon with Senior Mentors, Program Sponsors, and other workshop presentors.

A highlight of the program was a granting of certificates of completion of this our pilot program, the retention rate was extremely high.
One of the programs sponsored with AmeriCorps at our Tri-Parks Recreation site "Fun Fest" was another overwhelming success. Our Open House for the introduction of our programs for afterschool had over 300 children signing up for "Kid Id". To see more, go to Photo Gallery Page 2.
