NewBridge Links Morris County Businesses With Summer Help

Pompton Plains, NJ - March 26, 2009 - With warmer weather around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about how your business can benefit from summer help. Be among the growing list of area businesses that tap into the resources of NewBridge's Summer Youth Employment program.

This program has been successfully matching local teenagers with companies looking for summer help for several years. By signing up now, a business can fill both paid and volunteer positions for seasonal workers with Morris County teens ages 14 to 18 without the time-consuming and costly inconvenience of recruitment efforts.

Teens are carefully screened and matched with prospective employers whose job openings match their interests. Once hired, the teens receive continued support from NewBridge throughout the summer. The Summer Youth Employment Program receives support through the Juvenile Justice Commission's, the State/Community Partnership Grant Program, and the Morris County Department of Human Services.

"The NewBridge Summer Youth Employment program is a great resource for local businesses to get connected with enthusiastic summer workers, and help give teens valuable and productive work experience," said Jill Worrall, Summer Youth Employment Coordinator, NewBridge.
