Our Employment Resource Office is open year-round. We offer resources and workshops for all youth in the community during fall and winter on a variety of topics that will give youth employment training plus assistance in the areas of resume writing, job searching, interview skills, and obtaining identification. Â
The two main programs we facilitate are the Youth Crew Program and First Jobs 4 Youth (FJ4Y).
Our Youth Crew Program offers occasional jobs/training opportunities for local youth, ages 13-29. Youth develop skills in yard care, snow and ice removal, cooking, baking and catering, building projects and community relationships.
First Jobs 4 Youth (FJ4Y) offers part-time employment/training opportunities for local youth every summer within SNA’s programming.
The Young Parents Employment Program (YPEP) is for any young parents between the ages of 13 and 29 who are looking for work and have pre-school children. This program provides a job for the parent and a daycare for the child to stay (up to 4 children per parent). Both the work and the daycare are in the same building.
Youth Crew Program
Our Youth Crew program offers occasional odd jobs/training opportunities for local Youth, ages 13-29.

A natural stage of progression, many Youth Crew participants become First Jobs 4 Youth participants as they come of age. Both programs build community connections, self-confidence, self-esteem, and human dignity, as well as provide a safe working environment where Youth are valued community members.
