Teen & Young Adult Employment Initiative

Teen & Young Adult Employment Initiative

The City of Gloucester will be working in collaboration with the YMCA, Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Development Commission to recruit, employ, train, and supervise teens and young adults as the DOWNTOWN CLEAN TEAM. Applications are now being accepted.

This fourteen-week program, funded through the City of Gloucester Community Development Block Grant Program, will not only clean and maintain our business district in the downtown Gloucester area; but provide many youth with their first opportunity to earn resources while contributing back to the community.

The participants in this employment program will pick-up litter, sweep & rake, clip & pull weeds, water plantings and undertake some small maintenance projects such as sanding, refinishing and painting benches. Clean Team members will also be trained to serve as ambassadors in our community for the many residents and tourists that visit and shop in the area during the summer months.

Clean team is available to those who are residents of Gloucester and are a minimum of 14 years of age. Applications available at the Cape Ann YMCA front desk.

2010 Summer Rec Programs

The YMCA, working in collaboration with the City of Gloucester, will spearhead the 2010 City of Gloucester’s SUMMER REC PROGRAMS.

Building upon the past success of the City’s summer recreational programming, the anticipated activities include an expanded menu of the traditional Sailing program for children, families and adults, Tennis, Fencing, assorted Art Classes & Workshops, Gymnastics & Cheer Camps, Basketball Clinics, Ultimate Frisbee Tournament, free family nights at the YMCA’s Camp Spindrift in West Gloucester and more.
