There will be a community meeting next Wednesday to introduce the new Trappe Summer Youth Program for boys and girls ages 14 to 17. The program’s mission is to provide our young people with supervised work, educational, recreational and charitable experiences.
The program will run from June 18 to August 17.
Participants will work Monday through Thursday from 8am to 12 pm on projects to include yard work, painting and other small jobs around the town for both individuals and local business. Individuals and businesses will pay for these services; however, one of our goals will be to provide services to the elderly and disabled at little or no cost. Participants will be paid and will be covered by workers compensation insurance. On Fridays, the teenagers will participate in educational events (Rural Life Museum, Fire Hall visit) and recreational events. Our program goals are to teach good work skills, positive role models, promote community awareness and to keep our youth active during the summer months!
We would like interested citizens and parents to attend this meeting with their children. We will have applications and hope to answer your questions at this event.
If you have yard work or other appropriate projects for the young people, we have a brief form for you to complete so that we can discuss the project further.
Please feel free to call David Lee at 410-763-6551 office or 410-310-6360 cell if you have any questions.
