Peach Pit Opportunity Board
The goal of the Opportunity Board is to connect the local youth with both prospective short-term and long-term work and volunteer opportunities. Potential employers should contact the Peach Pit Opportunity Board with a short job description including necessary tasks, location, and pay rate; for long-term employment, please give us the full job description, pay rate, location, and information. We will then pass on the information directly to young people at the Peach Pit and online. Interested students respond directly to the potential employer and the two determine if it is a mutual fit.
