Firsly I pick up some of my neigborhood kids, then arrive buss in the park having control of the buss save rules for the kids as well as a count all the kids that are arriving and mark the present in a paper sheet. Before get into the pool help kids to follow instructions with swim profesors. We divide the work my cow worker also help each other. In the pool we have fun with the kids and help them to feel save in the pool helping to teach how to swim, so kids can past the next level. Also analyze kids are doing fine. Arfter the getting out the pool I help the kids to get ready to arrive the buss and mesure that every kids is the buss. When we get in the park everybody go home with their parents or we go with them to their home to mesure that they are safe in the way home. I am also help parents to traslate paper sheet that they have to sign and understand about the program, also at the las day of the lessons we organize with the parents to brougth some same food for the kids and we give them dipolmas for the lessons.

-led small group of children with assistance from similarly-aged volunteer or adult teacher in themed skits, arts and crafts projects, story time, inspected lunches for allergens, clean-up after lunch
-learned I am good at understanding and communicating with kids, improv theater, historical/cultural dances/music/general information, how to use epi-pens
management is made up of fearless leaders
-job is fun, natural continuation of classes we took as kids but there are in-group attitudes amongst volunteers as most are long time participants
-job was tiring, but I got to continue doing something that I would have otherwise aged out of and got to change some kids perspectives and have fun with them

It can be very slow paced to fast paced, everyday is unexpected with boaters coming in and out of lakes. I learned a lot about Minneapolis Parks and invasive species. The supervisor of the AIS team is awesome and very open to any questions you ever have or any opinions/ideas that come to mind. Everyone on the team is very like minded and wants the best for the environment and future of the lakes. The hardest part of the job is possibly the long hours during slow times, and during bad weather. The most enjoyable part of the job is being outside on nice days because you are getting paid to sit out at a lake and be friendly.

It was nice being able to interact with the public while working. In construction you don’t get to hear how much people appreciate your work until you work for the Minneapolis parks and recreation board. I was told almost daily by coworkers and people passing by just how much they appreciate the work we do and how well we’re doing. Petting dogs in between tasks was also a big plus. We did a wide variety of work throughout my time working there and it was nice being able to learn so many different things. Everyone that works there is kind and knowledgeable, they’ll help if you need but they’re not afraid to step back and let you show what you know.

If you thought weren't spending enough time outside, while catching some of Minnesota's warm, humid, and musk sunray's, then this is tree he job dor you. You not only get to breathe cool crisp fresh air in the morning, and get to take on the moisture saturated air towards the end of the work shift. That way you will be ready to jump into whatever endeavor it is, while outside of work. You also find yourself creating a type of bond within the community of where you're placed or stationed at. 

For the first time ever, I walked out of a job. As an HR professional, I couldn't continue to work at such a hostile HR Department. Training was poorly and the favouritism in the HR Department was extremely high. The majority of the HR staff were toxic team members that talked badly about each other. They also talked poorly about other department managers/leaders. Stay away from the HR Department.
Although Minneapolis consist of a large Latino/Hispanic population, you will not see this reflect here. Very disappointing.

Start daily programs on time, engage with youth during activities. Co-workers assist in scheduled programs daily and recruit youth from the community. You learn how to engage with the community to address needs and wants that will bring a positive impact, and address concerns that are negatively affecting the neighborhood.

Worst job I ever had with uper management they had when I was there I couldn't believe it was a government operation . Lots of planning for things they dont have the money to do poor budgeting unnecessary spending spending money on new projects when scheduled maintenance on what they already have ain't done I could go on all night about that place its unbelievable honestly 

Every day tasks include filing, customer service, and staff assistance. Work house are normal, 7:30AM to 4PM with a half hour lunch and two 15 minute breaks. Most of the staff are very nice and accommodating, the supervisors are wonderful.
Word of caution, if there is a difficult employee the organization won't do much to help you out. It makes for a very toxic work place and is extremely frustrating.
