There have been a number of job fairs this month at recreation centers and parks in Germantown, South Philadelphia, North Philadelphia and Northeast Philadelphia. These camps cannot open up without counselors in place, and it is a great way to earn some money (some are noted to be paying $15/ hour).

There are some virtual jobs available, including group teachers for hip-hop and keyboard. There are supervisory roles and leadership roles needing quality candidates interested in summer programming, with various levels of academic requirements.

Good luck on your summer job search!
