Youth Employment Services to hold free workshops

Youth Employment Services (YES) is offering a number of free workshops to the public to help young people gain experience and confidence while readying them to join the workforce.  Aimed at people in the age group of 10 to 24 years old, the workshops are designed to help with work and life skills such as resume and cover letter writing, pet care, crafts, lawn equipment safety, and active living.

YES will also be holding several fundraising BBQs, a bake sale, and a Pincher Creek clean-up day this summer.  If you would like to volunteer for any of these events, join a workshop, or find out more information about YES contact Kelsi Byam at  403-627-5615 or email yespcreek@gmail.com.
