The program is currently seeking host sites in the greater Coatesville area, a chance for businesses gain energetic youthful workers for the summer at no cost while playing a pivotal role in the development of the youth participants, by equipping them with work, life skills and knowledge, said Mena Badros, the program coordinator.
ServiceCorps begins Monday, June 24 and concludes Friday, Aug. 16. Students will be at their work sites Monday through Thursday and will convene at the Brandywine Center on Fridays for Leadership Development day.The Brandywine Health Foundation compensates the youth participants, so there is no employment cost to participate.
