Our Employment Resource Office is open year round. We offer resources and workshops for all Youth in the community during fall and winter on a variety of topics that will give youth employment training plus assistance in the areas of resume writing, job searching, interview skills, and obtaining identification. The two main programs we facilitate are the Youth Crew Program and First Jobs 4 Youth (
FJ4Y). Please see below for more information. First Jobs 4 Youth (FJ4Y) offers part-time employment/training opportunities for local Youth, ages 16-18 every summer within Spence Neighbourhood Association's programming. Youth may work in the Building Belonging program (children ages 6-12); Sports; Environment and Open Spaces; or Front Desk work at the Community Office on Ellice Ave. After graduating in August, Youth receive Fall/Winter work placements with local employers, such as the University of Winnipeg and other businesses and agencies. Every spring, our office assists past participants with applications to the City of Winnipeg for jobs as Recreation Technicians at local community centers. How to Participate In First Jobs 4 Youth:
~ Pick up an application form in May and return it to the FJ4Y Office at 430 Langside.
