HONOLULU — The Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation is looking to hire more than 500 people to help with its annual Summer Fun Program.
In order to help with its recruitment efforts, DPR put together new videos with testimonials from current staff to encourage prospective employees to apply.
The videos highlight the various positions available, including College Student Aide, Pool Lifeguard, Recreation Aide, and Therapeutic Aide, with pay rates ranging from $16 to $19.14 per hour.
The first video in the series can be viewed on DPR’s YouTube channel.
In order to apply, adults currently enrolled in college can complete an online application for the Summer Student Aide after creating a log-in. Adults not enrolled in college can complete a fillable PDF application.
