Along with running and working with many different camps across the Greater Toronto Area, Focus on Youth also has many placements where students are dispersed in different schools and help the custodial staff. This creates great opportunities for students because they learn the value of hard work in a different environment as well.
Most commonly they will clean lockers, furniture, desks, baseboards, and sweeping and mopping. Their schedules are also very similar with cleaning in the morning, taking time for lunch then continue cleaning until the end of the day. Due to the fact that each school is also built differently, the custodians utilize different strategies to get the most done effectively.
The custodial staff are hardworking, reliable, and caring. They always are doing the best they can to help keep the schools clean and sanitary. Without them the schools wouldn’t be as clean as they are in September. Although they are not seen as much as the camp counsellors, they are just as important and a very impactful aspect of Focus on Youth.
