Kitsap County has a highly educated and highly trained work force
which makes employment extremely competitive. Comparable salaries
tend to be lower than other geographical locations. The dynamics of a
rural community create a difficult employment search for most family
members. Volunteer service is highly encouraged as a major resource
to find employment opportunities. Networking through volunteering is imperative
to a successful employment search. Volunteering provides newly
reporting family members information about the community, a way to meet
potential employers and an opportunity to build a rapport with those employers.
Volunteer resources follow.
