In the 70s they had a program for low income families I worked different jobs every year that I worked it was to help by our school supplies and clothes I was excited to work. Now days is not to many young kids wants to work. They want everything handle down to them. Where I work now is hot in the plant young people work one day maybe a week then quit.

Great Program! Kids need to learn about different work environments while in school. Would love to see an expansion of the program.
