The Delaware County Summer Employment Program placed youth across Delaware County in summer jobs in their own communities.
These work experiences helped young people to improve their workplace skills, develop positive contacts and explore fields of interest.
The CDO Staff and Worksite Supervisors worked hard to develop the skills that today's youth need to be successful, not only in their summer job placements, but in all of their future employment endeavors.
"We are grateful for the opportunity to serve youth in our community," said the Delaware County Summer Youth Program Staff.
"Thank you to Delaware County Department of Social Services/Office of Temporary Disability Assistance, The O'Connor Foundation, and The Walton Fairground Board for making the Delaware County Youth Program possible through your generosity."
"And of course to all of the youth that worked so hard this summer, we thank you for your dedication and participation. May you be successful in all of your future endeavors."
