Youth Job Fairs For Parks District Planned

UNION CITY, CA —The East Bay Regional Park District will host two Youth Job Fairs. The first will be in Oakley on Saturday, Jan. 26, and the second will be in Union City on Saturday, Feb. 2.

Highlighted 2019 positions include: Interpretive Student Aides, Public Safety Student Aides, Recreation Leaders, Lifeguards, Gate Attendants, Park Services Attendants, Student Laborers, Field Interns, Interns, and Volunteers.

The Youth Job Fairs also include information sessions on resume writing, application submittal, and job interviewing for youth looking to enter the workforce, whether at the Park District or elsewhere.

“The Park District’s Annual Youth Job Fairs are an important way for the District to engage with local youth looking for jobs,” said East Bay Regional Park District Ward 5 Director Ayn Wieskamp. “The Park District works very hard to ensure youth in the district are aware of the jobs the District has to offer.”

“These events are great for area youth looking for full-time work or seasonal jobs,” added Wieskamp.

Last year over 500 attendees learned about working for the District and the positions available.

The East Bay Regional Park District is the largest employer of youth in the East Bay, hiring over 400 Bay Area youth each year to work in the District's 73 regional parks and ten visitor centers.

“The Park District is interested in attracting qualified and energetic job candidates who care about parks, nature learning, and enjoy outdoor recreation,” said East Bay Regional Park District Chief Human Resources Officer Kip Walsh. “The Youth Job Fairs are a great way for the Park District to connect directly with interested job candidates.”
