Hire-A-Teen Program
Hire-A-Teen is a job referral service for youth 13 - 19 years
of age.
Payment for the job is decided upon between the homeowner and
teen. Minimum wage is suggested as a guideline.
Work arrangements should be made prior to the work day, with all
the tools and materials provided by the employer / homeowner.
Remember, you are not hiring a professional. Do not ask the teen
to perform a task that requires professional expertise, or is beyond
their ability.
Please be patient and be prepared to supervise.
Some Examples of Hire-A-Teen jobs are:
- Childcare, Window Washing, Snow Removal, Yard Work, Pet Care,
Typing, Shopping, Stocking Shelves, Housecleaning, Gardening, Tutoring
This is a vital community program that helps our teens make constructive
use of their free time, as well as becoming responsible, community-minded
citizens.
This program follows all laws put forth by the New York State
Department of Labor.
This program is funded by the Dutchess County Youth Bureau and
Dutchess County.
