Youth Employment

There are more employment opportunities available during the summer months than during the school year. Most positions do not allow youths to work past 10 pm due to child labor laws. For most positions you need to have a copy of the sponsor's orders, a current passport and a valid ID. It would be advisable to bring these items when applying for work on military installations.

Youth Sports

The youth centers require certification of each of their coaches through the National Sports Coaches Association (NYSCA). The staff of sports professionals are NYSCA Certified Clinicians and provides NYSCA instruction to every coach to ensure a high standard of instruction and that good sportsmanship is available to all participants.

The Youth Sports Program encourages the importance of team unity, the rules of good sportsmanship, physical fitness and the development of athletic skills. Youth Sports provides seasonal athletics such as football, baseball, basketball, softball, cheerleading, t-ball and soccer. Special events like sports clinics, post season tournaments and fitness contests are also a large part of the athletic program.
