Finding a job is difficult. CRC makes it easier for Cincinnati youth to find a job. We provide a number of outlets for gainful employment. More than 90 youth are employed each year through CRC programs.

The Recreation Employment Corps addresses critical employability issues with youth in our community. Interview and workplace communication workshops provide participants with on-the-job training through an internship program. The program has been in operation since the summer of 2001 and has employed hundreds of youth.
