St. Augustine Prep Students Make the Best Summer Workers

Posted April 8th, 2014

Mr. David Zappariello, Director of Alumni and External Affairs, is coordinating with those alumni, families, and friends who may own a business and are in need of reliable summer help and internships.

“I wish I could take credit for this wonderful idea, but Mr. Matt Forrest planted the seed back in August in a casual conversation in the faculty dining room,” said Mr. Zappariello. “I promised him I would give it a shot at the appropriate time, and with summer just around the corner, I think it’s the right time to initiate the program.”

Current students seeking a summer job or internship should send an email to mr.zappariello@hermits.com indicating what type of position they desire. Mr. Zappariello will then try to match the student with a business that has indicated it has an opening.

“We’ll put the two parties together and then it’s up to them to see if it’s a good fit,” he said. “I think the program has a lot of potential once the word gets out to our various constituencies.”

Those businesses with openings and looking to hire this summer should contact Mr. Zappariello at the above email address.
