Native Aspirations gearing up for summer
The Native Aspirations
summer youth work and edu-
cation program is set to be-
gin on June 27, and will run
through August 19.
There have been four ori-
entation sessions for inter-
ested youth. A last-chance
orientation is scheduled for
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday,
May 19, at the Family Re-
source Center.
Reina Estimo at Health
and Human Services is direct-
ing the program again this
year. There have been 103
young people who have gone
through orientation so far,
she said.
Native Aspirations will pro-
vide summer work positions
to the first 100 who complete
orientation and all necessary
paperwork. As of earlier this
week, 23 kids had completed
both the orientation and the
paperwork, so there are still
positions that are available.
This year there are some
changes to the program. The
placement of the youth with
the employer, for instance,
will be different.
This year, each youth will
make recommendations as to
where he or she might like to
work. Then the youth will
meet with an interview panel.
The panel will include a
Health and Human Services
representative, a Prevention
worker, community member,
and volunteer employer rep-
resentative, for instance.
The interview will panel
will also come up with rec-
ommendations as to where
the youth might find the most
work success.
The interviews are sched-
uled for May 23 through May
25. The May 23 session will
be from 8 a.m. to noon at the
Family Resource Center. This
one is especially for youth
from boarding schools.
The May 24 interview ses-
sion, from 8 a.m. to 3:30
p.m., will be at Madras High
School. And the May 25 ses-
sion, also from 8-3:30, will be
at the Warm Springs Acad-
emy.
Native Aspirations has
places for six college students,
but these have already been
filled, Reina said.
Another change this year
will be for the first-year work-
ers. These students will work
with a particular department,
but will also spend two weeks
with a crew working on vari-
ous community projects.
