Center Life
A typical day at Iroquois Job Corps is full of activities to help our students prepare for the real world. Students get up early and spend the majority of their day receiving academic and hands-on career technical training.
After class, students study or hang out with friends before dinner in the cafeteria. After dinner, students may do chores in their dorms or spend their downtime studying. Most students are in bed by 10 PM in order to rest for the next day's tasks.
Recreation
Iroquois Job Corps boasts one of the best recreation programs in the nation. Students find our recreational activities to be a fun and exciting way to meet new friends, socialize, and just relax and unwind at the end of the day.
Some of the activities we offer are arts and crafts, billiards, volleyball, flag football, tournaments, table top games, and dances. We also schedule trips off center to movie theaters, restaurants, malls, concerts, and cultural sites at no additional cost to our students.
We have men's and women's teams that compete in the Job Corps basketball and softball leagues. Male students can also participate in the Medina Men’s Softball League.
Student Government Association (SGA)
The Student Government Association (SGA) is the voice of our students and is very involved in the operation of the center. We encourage all students to join the SGA.
Community Involvement
Iroquois Job Corps students are very active in the local community by volunteering on many community projects. Our center has partnered with many local organizations such as the Rotary Club, the YMCA, the American Red Cross, Head Start, Emergency Management, and the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge. In recognition of our students' efforts, our center was named Volunteer of the Year by the local Chamber of Commerce.
Safety
Job Corps is committed to offering all students a safe and secure environment. That's why we have a Zero Tolerance Policy for violence, alcohol, and drugs. Any student who breaks this policy will be dismissed immediately from Job Corps.
