Local job opportunities arise

Although the snow continues to fall, it is time for students to begin looking for summer work. Before deciding what job fits the individual best, it is important to prioritize what each individual hopes to gain from their summer experience.

For students like Brennon Shanks, 11, summer is a time to tune skills in a specific realm of studies.

“I will be working in a research lab and I hope that I will gain further experience in the field of biotechnology,” said Shanks.

Students who are undecided on their future career may benefit from a job as a summer camp counselor. To find out about a summer camp counselor job at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) click here.

“You get to be outside and active, work with your peers, and impact the lives of hundreds of children. You have the opportunity to gain valuable work and life experiences which future employers find valuable,” said Abby Solomon, JCC Teen Coordinator.

Another local option for students interested in a camp counselor experience is Gorman Heritage Farm. To apply for a position at the farm, visit their website.

About the Contributor
Lila Englander, Assignment Editor
I am currently a senior. This year I serve as an assignment editor. I love writing about people or groups with fascinating stories who often fly under the radar. Beyond learning to use the Adobe design programs and developing my writing skills, journalism has allowed me to pursue my love of learning and gain a deeper understanding of the profound value of collaboration. I enjoy participating in Academic Quiz Team, Chinese Club and TEAMS team. I love backpacking, kayaking, climbing, reading and napping. I am learning Chinese at school at the AP level and can read, write and speak Hebrew because I went to Jewish day school until eighth grade. I also sharpened my Hebrew skills during junior year while studying abroad for a semester in the desert of Israel through Alexander Muss High School in Israel. The past three summers, I have been lucky enough to intern at a small nonprofit called Design Impact. My favorite book is "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. My favorite T.V. shows are "The Wire" and "True Detective." My three favorite news sources are "The New York Times," "The Atlantic," and "The Onion." I also listen to "This American Life" on NPR every week. Although I am interested in pursuing a career in engineering, I am confident that journalism will benefit me wherever I end up. I am looking forward to another great year on staff!
