Parks & Recreation - A Career For Life

Print this article | Send to Colleague

The IPRA College & University Relations Committee has launched a campaign to recruit young people into the field of parks & recreation. Acknowledging that this is often a "discovery" career - many high school & college-aged students often do not realize that it is a planned course of study - the CURC partnered with Greg Bizarro of Jaffe Films to produce an informational CD that can be shown to agency staff (lifeguards, day camp counselors, etc.)

One complimentary copy per park & recreation agency with an active IPRA member. Please use this order form to place an order for additional copies.

The video is also available online.  Be sure to check out the "Day in the Life" videos!

Audience: High school/college age
Purpose: To promote careers that are park and recreation specific, as well as careers in parks and recreation that involve other disciplines.

Provide accurate and compelling information about parks & recreation as a career and direct them to additional resources.
