Jobs For The Youth!!!
UPS will provide jobs to more than 100 young people in the SummerWorks program this summer through a public-private program designed also to keep them on track to finish high school and go on to college. There will be several major companies that will hire SummerWorks youth for the first time this summer, including Humana and Kindred Healthcare.
UPS this summer will employ high school juniors, as young as 17, to work at its Worldport shipping hub. In their senior year, the students will be able to transition into the School-to-Work program, where students attend high school in the morning, work at UPS later in the day and take college courses. After graduating high school, students have an opportunity to stay employed with UPS and be part of the Earn & Learn or Metropolitan College programs, which pay their college tuition while they work part-time at UPS.
In addition to UPS, other businesses returning this year to hire SummerWorks youth include the Belle of Louisville, GE, GlowTouch Technologies, Harland Clarke, Louisville Urban League, Louisville Zoo, Norton Healthcare, Speedway, Thorntons and YMCA of Greater Louisville.
The SummerWorks program not only offers our students a real-world application of the skills and training they’re receiving in the classroom, but it allows them to earn critical job experience and networking tools so they can graduate prepared, empowered and inspired to reach their full potential.
A new website, www.summerworks.org, has been created, making it easier for employers to sign up to hire, and for young people to register for a summer work opportunity.
This program is a great way to expose youth to the working world, and to help promote the growth and expansion of our Louisville Community.

Green Dot Winner:
February was Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, and the Green Dot violence prevention program hosted a month-long campaign at Shelby County High School and Martha Layne Collins High School to build awareness for dating violence and all forms of power-based personal violence. Students were encouraged to participate in activities each day that would engage them with questions or actions to promote a climate of school safety. Daily prizes were awarded to students who participated in the campaign’s activities, and one student was selected to win the grand prize, a 40-inch TV. The grand prize winner of February’s Green Dot campaign was Noelle Thompson, a sophomore at Martha Layne Collins High School.
Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, a part of KentuckyOne Health, Inc. , is funding the implementation of Green Dot into Shelby County Public Schools through a grant from Catholic Health Initiatives to reduce violence in our community. Green Dot’s curriculum for high school focuses on bullying, dating violence, and sexual assault. This is the first year for Green Dot in Shelby County, and over 400 students have already participated in the Green Dot bystander training. Anyone wanting more information about Green Dot can visit their official website, livethegreendot.com, or follow the local Green Dot accounts, @GreenDotShelby, on Twitter or Instagram.
Congratulations Noelle Thompson!
