Hi, Maria: We have a similar programme in my Parish which has been running for several years now to help teens out especially during school breaks when there is'nt much to do but hang around. The programme benefits both the seeker and the sought as many teens have found a vocation in social work and the health care industry and are now seeking qualifications along those lines.

I hope many more follow your trend of thought and practice because you are providing more than a means of income for teenagers. They also acquire skills which they can employ in the future.
