Teens in Leadership Training (TILT) is a 10 week leadership and job readiness program for students 16-18 years of age. It gives teens the necessary skills and knowledge to be successful employees with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department.
Be a Leader
Students at Austin ISD high schools meet twice a week to participate in ice breaker type games, team build, learn and discuss leadership topics, have opportunities to do internships, receive assistance filling out City of Austin job applications, help building a resume, interview tips, and receive CPR/First Aid certification training. Successful graduation from the program gives teens the opportunity to apply and interview for Activity Specialist positions with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department in our Summer Playgrounds Program.
