Knoxville is the first in the country to try to implement a new economic development program that connects job seekers (focusing on high schoolers) with households or businesses needing temporary help. The website helps provide a way to connect people you normally wouldn't know or meet, but gets job seekers jobs, raises money for Knoxville schools and helps people in the community with things or projects they need done. Example of jobs people might post on the website: babysitting, child care, mowing, snow removal, moving help, remodeling help, farm help, elderly help, cleaning, organization, etc. What we are creating is a city wide database of job seekers/neighbors that the community of Knoxville can have access to when they need extra help at home or at their business. We already have nearly 200 Knoxville high school students signed up as job seekers. Check out the website at www.job-nest.com. Would love to hear suggestions and feedback to help introduce to the community. Thank you!

Where is the city regarding providing and maintaining adequate soccer fields for Knoxville's youth? In the few years we have been involved with the Knoxville Soccer Club, it has grown leaps and bounds. The teams have to figure out how to practice around each other on limited space. If it rains at all, the fields are flooded and unusable for quite a while. It is my understanding that the new soccer fields at the Rec are for Rec leagues only.
