Join Community Action Partnership of Lake County in their annual Anti-Poverty "Why I Walk" 5K. Registration opens March 1st. Sponsorships available.

The 11th annual A Safe Place EmpoweRun 5K is an empowering fundraising event that brings together over 400 friends and supporters to run, walk, or donate to help victims who have been affected by domestic violence and human trafficking and to support our programs and services for families. Money raised helps A Safe Place provide a full range of services to families suffering from domestic and human trafficking and to promote awareness of the impact and consequences of violence in our communities. A Safe Place is the sole provider of services in Lake County exclusively focusing on domestic violence and human trafficking victims. A Safe Place assists victims and their children in transforming their lives after domestic violence, prevents future abuse by addressing its root cause through abuser intervention, and educates the community about domestic violence and human trafficking and how we can all be involved in its end. Last year, A Safe Place served over 32,000 community members.

Waukegan Community Unit School District # 60 will host a Job Fair where community members will have an opportunity to explore the various employment opportunities available in the District. Staff representing District departments and school buildings will be on hand to answer questions about positions, as well as their experiences working in buildings. While the district is always seeking qualified and certified teachers and substitutes, job openings beyond the classroom, such as paraprofessionals, classroom assistants, secretarial staff, safety staff, custodial staff, and more will also be available. Starting requirements for many of these positions only require a high school diploma or diploma equivalent. Applicants interested in applying to the district are always encouraged to apply online or meet with administrators and staff and drop off resumes as well as any other other hiring materials. For more information contact 224-303-1029.
