All year, we serve as a liaison between employers and youth in Ojai Valley. Local proprietors and residents may contact us with requests for long and short employment opportunities, and we provide 15-18 year old students with an array of work experience opportunities. Once the connection is established between the employer and the youth, we are no longer involved. Wages are distributed between employer and employee directly, we recommend higher than minimum wage.
Typical examples of successful work placements include:
- Special event helpers- food servers, set up and clean up assistance, parking attendants
- Home organization assistance- garage and house clean-up projects
- Babysitting services for private parties
- Yard work and clean-up projects
- Weed abatement (no equipment provided)
- Computer assistance for small businesses- mailing lists, word documents, excel sheets and advertising
Contact us at: ojaiyouth@gmail.com if you are seeking help, and would like to extend the opportunity to local youth.
