When students are lacking a sense of purpose or belonging at school, a School Jobs Program can help fulfill this gap for students. It also supports meeting student’s basic needs for attention and recognition.

When implementing this program, there are a few critical components that will support the program's success:

  • Identify a supervisor for each job to develop a nurturing relationship with the student + provide positive feedback and consistency

  • Match students with appropriate jobs based on age & need for supervision

  • Provide training and needed materials for the supervisor

  • Ensure the student receives sufficient training in all skills needed

Examples of Student Jobs:

  • Secondary roles:

    • Office Runner

    • Hall Monitor

    • Assistant to Staff Members

    • Lunch Monitor

    • Copier
