RACINE — Teens looking to be paid and make a difference in the Racine community can now get involved in Focus on Community’s Teen Peer Program where they offer paid employment.
Focus on Community works to unite the community in an effort to prevent substance abuse and inspire healthy life choices.
Through a leadership program hosted by the nonprofit that serves high school students, teens gain useful skills and transform into positive leaders and role models.

Please note those who are 14 or 15 years old must obtain a work permit and are only allowed to work three hours on weekdays.
