The Rotary Club of Paso Robles donates to Youth Works in Paso Robles for the 5th consecutive year to help provide job-training opportunities to local youth.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Rotary Club of Paso Robles has made a contribution to their program. This year, $2,500 was awarded from the proceeds of the Golf Tournament held by the Club each May.
Youth Works is a signature program of the Paso Robles Housing Authority that teaches kids the skills they will need to enter the workforce. Middle school and high school youth learn the ways of the workplace as they are scheduled for weekly paid work shifts assigned by the Youth Works Community Services Team. They develop skills in farming, janitorial tasks, cooking, customer service, cash handling, tutoring, childcare, office jobs, and computers. Using cascading mentorship, the adults oversee all operations while the older students train and tutor each lower age level.
