East End neighbors, we’ve got teens ready to work!
Now we need projects! 🙌

AKZ's Teen & Community Connection Program allows teens to get paid work experience while helping neighbors with approved projects around their homes and properties.

If you have something on your to-do list that could use an extra set of hands, this might be a great fit.

Examples of projects may include:
• Yard work or seasonal cleanup
• Car washing
• Outdoor painting
• Cleaning out a shed, garage, or outdoor space
• Washing exterior windows or outdoor surfaces
• Other approved household projects

**There is no cost to participating neighbors. AKZ pays the teens for their work!**

AKZ reviews all projects for safety and suitability, and AKZ staff supervise teen work.

If you live in the East End and have a project in mind, submit a request here:

👉 https://forms.gle/xbAiortrCK1pJj1U7

Even if you’re not sure whether your project qualifies, go ahead and submit it. We’ll review the request and follow up with you.

Help us give local teens meaningful work experience while knocking something off your own to-do list. 🧡
