Question Things for teens to do in Colorado Springs?

Alright I dropped out of high school and got a GED, and I don't have a job nor do I go to college right now. So my question is what things are there for a 17 year old like myslef to do in this city. Mainly sports groups. Is there any? Also if theres any hiring managers on here from Colorado Springs who hire for minumum wage jobs please PM me. Thank you in advance!

I don't know specifically of any sports groups for youth, but I am sure some one on this forum will know of some.

As far as jobs, I have a teen who was job hunting a year ago. She ended up going to each of the places that were convenient (close by) and asked for job applications, and she got a job fairly quickly. Hey, maybe you could get a job at the YMCA and that could combine your sports interest with some pay?

I live on the Northside, Briargate near the Chapel Hills mall. And yeah I do have reliable transportation to get to work, but I can't find a job.

Did you play any sports? Could you coach? I think the Y is a great idea, I just looked on their website and they have atleast 2 openings for front desk. I think it is said $8.75 an hour! Not too shabby!

I'll have to check it out. As long as you don't have to be 18, $8.75 would be way more than the $7.28 minumum wage for me.
