Three Career Pathways
Teens preserving strawberries
Culinary Arts
The Iron Works Cafe, senior meal program and Working Class Catering are all made possible by youth in the culinary career pathway. These students have been learning safe food handling techniques, as well as the history and science behind a variety of foods. Students in the culinary program have also been assisting in the food pantry.
Maintenance and Grounds
Maintenance and grounds students have been keeping the Goodman Center clear of snow and windows and rooms clean for the next user. These youth are learning how to safely use a variety of hand and power tools and the mathematical concepts necessary for building projects. These teens are also volunteering rebuilding bicycles for Wheels for Winners.
Early Childhood Education
TEENWorks students also assist in the preschool program. These students are learning about child development concepts. The teens have developed some of their own craft activities to share with the children.
As a community, we are thankful for all the effort that our student workers give every day to help run Goodman Community Center. If you see a TEENWorks employee give them some positive encouragement.
