Z-Swep Students Help Make the Royal Park Campus a Beautiful Place to Live
Z-SWEP students braved high temperatures to stain the wooden deck and bridges at the Michigan campus. Z-SWEP is a collaboration be- tween Zeeland Public Schools, Michigan Rehabilitation Services, and Juniper LLC.
During the months of June and July, Royal Park Place Retirement Living and Royal Atrium Inn Assist- ed Living partnered with Zeeland Student Work Experience Program (Z-SWEP) to help high school stu- dents with barriers gain work ex- perience in their own community. The students worked as a team, while an adult mentor helped them gain hands-on knowledge of what work is. Students learned about decision making and team-
work, and they also gained an understanding of what it takes to earn a paycheck. The Michigan community enjoyed hosting this team of hardworking students, who stained their large wooden deck and bridges; a job well-done despite the high tem- peratures. It was a pleasure work- ing with these students and they were a blessing to Royal Park Place and Royal Atrium Inn.
