Summer Volunteer and Employment Opportunities for Teens
Even if you can't find a job this summer, there are lots of local volunteer opportunities available for teens to get work experience and find something they enjoy doing this summer.
Teens between the ages of 16 and 19 have been hardest hit by the Great Recession and weak economy, which has made finding a summer job difficult over the past five years. Just because you can’t find a summer job doesn’t mean teens can’t acquire valuable work skills and maybe even find something they enjoy doing. Whether you’re looking to earn community service hours for school, build up your college application resume or simply get out of the house this summer – there are plenty of local volunteer opportunities for teens. Patch put the call out to our Facebook fans asking for suggestions of places where teens ages 14-19 can volunteer. We listed a few of them here: Summer Employment

Anyone use the "Big Money Game" 'coupon' that was in the Sunday paper 2 weeks back? I saved mine and finally went over there Saturday night. As expected when I scanned the barcode it was worth the lowest value of $2 so I nabbed a few bags of top soil for a total bill of 15 cents. Had another one that a neighbor tossed, also good for $2 so gave it to another shopper. Asked 2 more neighbors, both … more ›

Patch Readers Sound Off on Jewel Cart Policy
Do you think it should be mandatory for Jewel-Osco employees to follow you — and your cart — out to your vehicle? Let us know in the comments section.
Area residents voiced strong opinions this week on a new policy at Jewel-Osco, which requires its employees to follow customers — and their carts — out to their vehicles. The service is mandatory, according to couponsinthenews.com, and whether you want the help or not, your bagger is expected to follow you out to your vehicle. The service has nothing to do with keeping track of carts, according to Coupons in the News. "We understand that this is a very different service and it might take our customers some time to understand that we want this to be the norm," said a Jewel customer service representative in the article. Local Patch readers sounded off on the new policy on the Beverly-Mt. Greenwood, Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park Facebook …

I spent 4 hours last weekend in front of Jewel-Osco tagging for Saint Vincent de Paul. Here are my observations on this topic: Jewel-Osco still employs someone to return the carts from the parking lot to the store. Both of the young men I met who do this job are hardworking, helpful and pleasant. I saw very few shoppers being escorted or followed to their cars by employees. The customers who used… more ›
