TeenWorks

In 1981, Indiana philanthropist Gene B. Glick began what was then called the Pro 100 program with a simple idea – to provide teens with a summer job that would teach them the importance of self-discipline, a hard day’s work, and giving back to the community. Fast forward to the present, TeenWorks continues this founding vision through our summer employment program, but now exists as a stand alone 501(c)3 organization that focuses on year round programming and collaborative partnerships with community organizations.

At TeenWorks, our volunteers are vital to helping us create unique and educational experiences for our teens. Volunteers can provide a professional development experience, space or technology for our teens or sign up to participate in mock interviews, Summer Program presentations, career panels, and more!

Work-based learning is a reality. It’s one thing to learn what it means to be a great employee in the classroom – but you have to do it. And when it comes to exploring career pathways and options for life after high school, there’s no better way than through a mix of real-life experiences, thought-provoking discussions with a trusted career coach, purposeful learning in a classroom, and getting to know community professionals and how they navigated their path.
