Did you know that the 1982 Skinker-DeBaliviere Summer Youth Program provided summer employment for 52 teenagers?
The SLATE summer youth provided jobs for 48 youth in four areas: Home Maintenance, where 17 teenagers, supervised by Ann McKerrow Fitzgibbons and Jeffrey Moore, performed duties such as yard work, cleaning, interior painting, and working alongside the beautification crews.
The Beautification crews, 17 teenagers supervised by Chris Grady and Damon Cross, cleaned alleys, cleared vacant lots, and did weed control work. Also, in the last week of the program, the beautification crews painted alley addresses in the Rosedale area.
The 10 Summer Youth participants assigned as tutors were supervised by Faith Smith and tutored younger children in math, language and the arts.
The other four SDCC summer employment slots were funded by a Summer Jobs Program Grant from Ralston Purina and provided clerical jobs for high school seniors at St. Roch, Hamilton Community School, Grace United Methodist Church, and the SDCC office.
Congratulations to Lisa Netter, LaMonte Kenneybrew, Sandra Webber and Devore Williams who all performed admirably.
