about the program
The R.E.A.L. stands for Realizing Exceptionally Amazing Leaders and is our Summer Youth Employment Program run by Van Buren Township and funded through a grant provided by the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network. The REAL is a program that allows VBT to hire community youth to aid senior citizens of our area through their time, creativeness and service.
Students and young adults, ages 14-24 years of age, are encouraged to apply for the 6-week summer employment program which will run early July through mid-August. Applicants must be available for the entire 6 week program, have reliable transportation, and have a willingness to work outdoors doing light yard maintenance. The REAL employees can expect to work a guaranteed 20 hours per week with a typical work week running Tuesday through Thursday.
