T.A.P. into Your Teen’s Potential! Create a Dynamic Youth Volunteer Program Fueling Your Future Workforce!

Do you want to create an effective youth volunteer program, or do you currently have an existing program where retention is difficult? Do you want to learn how to purposefully engage and mentor your volunteers to become potential hires in departments like Recreation and beyond? The City of Norwalk Teen Alliance Program (T.A.P.) has been running strong for over 30 years and currently has 350 participants. Along with providing valuable support for citywide special events and programs, volunteers also participate in community outreach projects, interactive workshops, and team building activities. T.A.P. alumni will share their personal experiences on the program and how it positively impacted their career path into recreation and other City departments such as Public Services, Public Safety, Finance, Engineering and more.
