More than 200 summer job openings are available for teens this summer at Indy Parks.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, who shared his own experience working as a lifeguard, highlighted the value in connecting youngsters to job opportunities in city parks.
“When you work for a parks department, it just isn’t any old job. It’s a chance to make a meaningful and positive difference in our community while you are at the same time earning a paycheck,” Hogsett said. “We hope the best, brightest, and most hardworking residents of our city choose to apply. Over the challenges of the last year, few public amenities have been as beloved as our parks.”
Available jobs include lifeguards, day camp counselors, cashiers, stage technicians, and food program coordinator. Positions start at between $10 and $15 per hour and will be located at Indianapolis parks offering day camps, pools, concerts and movies, free meals, and summer programs.
Indy Parks also shared its summer pool locations. The parks department opened five of its 18 pools in 2020 due to the pandemic.
