Our Best Kept Secret is OUT!

Employment Program Is Going Strong

 Did you know that Camp Fire has an incredible FREE employment program?  For seven years, we have provided employment services to young adults ages 18 to 21. 

Sandra Ballard, Program Coordinator, has been on the forefront four of those seven years, helping to change lives all over Dallas.  “Camp Fire’s Employment Program helps young adults develop the skills they need to enter the workforce and to maintain their jobs. These skills are crucial to our at-risk youth because many of them lack the social, educational, and language skills to do it on their own,” Sandra said.

Program participants receive job placement assistance, job readiness training,  interviewing skills, assistance in obtaining a GED, and vocational training. 

Camp Fire’s employment program is typically the first introduction to professional services that our at-risk  teens receive. These youth face many obstacles that hinder their ability to find jobs on their own. Barriers such as money, child care and transportation are often encountered.

We eliminate these barriers by providing free services, taking our program to young adults, assisting with child care, and working with partner agencies to help them obtain bus passes.  

We have clients ready to work and need the following jobs:
