This summer, the Mayor's Council on Youth has expanded the Rent-A-Kid program to tap the youth resources in ten underprivi- -leged sections throughout the five county Met- ropolitan area, A picture of the average Rent-A-Kid re- veals that he is 15 years old, has six broth- ers and sisters, lives in a household where there is no ‘lather and his mother works, He lives in public housing, shares a bed with at least two other children and eats one and a Ly ta half meals per day, His family’s income is less than $3,000 per work as he is to eat, Rent-A~Kids can mow lawns, trim shubbery, clean flowerbeds, wesh windows, move furni- ture, clean out basements, attics and garages, paint (with supervision), mend and hem, iron, babysit, wash cars and many other things that are not Hsted here, Chances are, if the public needs a job to be done that is not listed here, a Rent-A-Kid will be able to fit the bill, They are available from Mondays through Fridays from 9 to 5 and on Saturdays from 9 to 1, They work on an hourly basis with an average charge of $1.35 per hour or 75 cents an hour for bebysitting during the dey. The charge, however, is flexible depending on the type of work to be done, The kids are willing and ceger, butthe suc- cess of the program depends entirely on the jobs available for them, This is where Met- ropolitan area residents comein, Lookaround the house, Look around the yard, Look around the basement or the attic, Look at allthat you wish to do and do not have time to do, Then, think of the many ch idren who beg, ‘Do you know where I can get a job?’ And call 577-5252, You need the help. .. -year.
