Since 2007, the Anchorage Park Foundation and Anchorage Parks and Recreation Department have teamed up to facilitate the Youth Employment in Parks program. This 10-week summer program offers Anchorage teens (ages 16 – 19) the chance for real-life working experience and to help with various park improvement projects and advance outdoor recreation opportunities for everyone. Teens are also taught valuable lessons about natural resource management, highlighted by Mentorship Week at the end of the summer to connect new skills to future careers.
Learn more about the program and help a teen in your life apply for the program from now until March 19.
