This booklet is designed to help you identify the types of jobs each business offers so you can easily find the one(s) that interest you. The businesses participating in the Fair are listed alphabetically. They are described in the following way: their minimum age requirement, seasonal or year-round employment opportunities, minimum number of hours required each week, types of positions available, specific skills or experience needed in order to be hired and contact information for each business. On pages 3 and 4 we offer some tips and tactics for increasing your odds of securing a job. For those of you who attend the Job Fair, there are representatives who can assist you with applications, internship opportunities, interview skills, social networking skills, and resume building, as well as answer questions about workplace safety and work permits. The KidsMatter Board of Asset Trustees, Staff and Volunteers wish you all the best in your job-seeking endeavors. KidsMatter equips youth and families with tools to manage the stress of everyday life through dynamic school and community programs, practical education, resources and youth recognition. We harness the power of partnership with parents, educators and an extensive network of community resources to help kids and families thrive. Our goal - to stop problems in kids’ lives before they start!

This Initiative will empower a Network of Connected Parents who are committed to providing nonjudgmental opportunities to share struggles, provide support, and ultimately strengthen the fabric of our families - providing hope for a healthy tomorrow. Our Goal: To offer parents a safe environment to ask questions, discuss at-risk situations and be strengthened to challenge our children’s choices about drugs, alcohol, anxiety, depression, bullying, cybercrime, and other at-risk behaviors. Why? ParentsMatterToo has been created in response to the heroin overdoses that resulted in 83 deaths in DuPage County between 2012 and 2013. Research from parent focus groups reveals that parents prefer seeking help anonymously online or from other parents before reaching out to professional service. That research resulted in the creation of ParentsMatterToo. The ParentsMatterToo.org “Ask The Expert” Website Listen to local professionals answer questions about drugs, alcohol, bullying, school work, anxiety, depression, and other issues impacting our children. Anonymous questions will be addressed by a highly-qualified professional. Current research and links to the most trusted national experts are provided. This online information empowers parents to be the informed, positive influence their children need. Parent Conversation Circles-Empowering Parents to challenge their children’s choices Sign up to join in meaningful conversation focused on important questions parents are asking: What do I need to KNOW to be an effective parent? What do I need to SAY to my child? What do I need to DO to be the parent I want to be? Guided small groups are being held in coffee shops, faith communities, schools, business board rooms, and other locations where parents feel comfortable gathering. Conversation Circles are opportunities for parents to share life experiences, discuss parenting situations, and gain knowledge and support. Speakers: The ParentsMatterToo website shares a calendar of information that lists upcoming speakers and events focused on opportunities for parents to become knowledgeable, influential, and armed with skills to effectively challenge our children’s choices. www.parentsmattertoo.org 36 37
