Rock Your Block

Rock Your Block is an online and mobile location-based application that helps 13-17 year-olds find neighborhood jobs, part-time work, and internship opportunities within their neighborhood, school, and community. Utilizing users’ Facebook and other social networks, geo-location, real-time information feeds, and proprietary prediction and security technologies, the Rock Your Block application tailors an easy-to-use and safe interface for teens to browse and search job listings, inquire about desired jobs, and announce their candidacy for employment. This application technology also assists job posters and organizations in promoting available projects within their hyper-local area.

As teens gain work experience, their Rock Your Block profile grows, showing jobs completed, achievements and certifications earned, and recommendations from neighbors. By using Rock Your Block, teens are given the opportunity to develop skills necessary to become independent, self-sufficient adults: searching for work, building a resume, handling job interviews, and developing good time and money management.
