Elder Chabars
For students ages 16-24, St. John's offers a part-time
employment opportunity far more satisfying than flipping
burgers. Elder Chabar, which takes its name from a Hebrew
work for companion and fellowship, is a flexible and unique
program that allows students to choose their work hours at a
fulfilling job while saving up money for college. Elder
Chabars perform duties such as assisting with meals,
cleaning equipment and rooms, and participating in resident
activities.

At least two shifts of between 2.5
and 4 hours each per week.
-
You choose your shifts; we'll

A major benefit of Elder Chabar, and its

Service Award. For each hour of work, $1 will be placed in a
personal scholarship fund for education at an accredited
vocational school, college, or university.

Fulltime and part-time employees at St.

benefits.
This is a wonderful program that benefits our residents and
other staff----but it also has proven to be a blessing to
these high school Elder Chabars. If you know somebody age
16 through college who might enjoy this program just have
them stop by for an
application or call 655-5621.
