Summer Youth Program Graduation at EVFC

In a joyous graduation program at the Easton Volunteer Fire Department on July 14, 46 students completed the Upper Shore Workforce Investment Board youth program. The six-week work program gives students with learning disabilities and handicaps not only a path get out into the workforce, but many retain their jobs after completing the course. These teens do all kinds of things across five counties like washing dishes, taking movie tickets at a theater and working at a day care center. There are lots of different businesses who are willing to work with these students like Aaron’s Place, Dorchester Parks and Recreation and the Kent County Animal Shelter.
