For teens living on-post, employment is for the most part limited
to the installation unless they have their own transportation. Public
transportation between Fort Irwin and Barstow is not available on weekends nor
during after school hours. Like any other installation, many teen
activities center around school and the school's extra curricular
activities. Some teens on-post also work after school as baggers at
the commissary or at Burger King. Babysitting, too, is an excellent
way to earn extra money. During the summer months, the American Red
Cross normally offers a Youth Volunteer Program in which young people can gain
work experience volunteering in various agencies on-post. See YOUTH EMPLOYMENT
and Contacts Links for additional details.
