It’s time to get the word out:
Having a job as a teenager can be great.  Young workers earn money, learn responsibility, and get new skills.  But is the work safe?  Have they been trained?  Do they know what to do if there is a problem?
Visit www.youngworkers.org to find out what you can do to educate and protect working teens!
On the website you will find:

• An updated, downloadable Safe Jobs for Youth Month Resource Kit (teaching activity, community service suggestions, the winning poster, tips for parents, and more)
