Summer Youth Opportunities

Attached are several documents detailing great summer opportunities for high school juniors and seniors and youth up to age 21.

The KS Workforce Centers Map is a map of Kansas that shows the Local Workforce Areas 1 through 5 and the counties they cover.  This map also shows where the workforce centers are located.

The Workforce Center Contact Information document lists ways to contact the workforce centers and the Local Workforce Areas.

The LA III - Summer Programs 2012 document lists several programs that Local Area III (Kansas City area - Leavenworth, Wyandotte and Johnson Counties) are providing this summer.  The programs they are offering include Work Readiness, Customer Service, Computer Camp, Warehouse, and GED.

These are great opportunities for high school juniors and seniors and youth up to age 21.  Those who are interested in these opportunities should contact their local office at the numbers listed on the bottom of this sheet.
