Parent Jobs
Please remember this program is run cooperatively. All parents MUST be involved in some way to keep this wonderful program running. Everyone must sign up for a parent job.
There are many different types of parent jobs available. See the list of available jobs below.
If you are unable to fulfill your parent duties at any time, it is your responsibility to find a replacement. In the past, parents have posted on the Pals Community email list to find someone who is willing to fill in for them.
Those interested in performing a second parent job will receive a $50 credit toward classes for their child, if credit is available. Requests for extra jobs and credits will be offered first come, first served. Contact Jennifer (i69express@yahoo.com) or Leigh (skyecontracting@verizon.net) if interested.
