Princeton Capital
A local mortgage company supports TeenForce
 
Currently we have six teens placed  at Princeton Capital, a local direct lender that specializes in home mortgages. These teens have been assigned various tasks such as scanning, copying, data entry, and accounting. Princeton Capital prides itself on working primarily in the Bay Area - 95% of their lending is made right here. For more information, please visit www.princetoncap.com

Ask Barbara
An assisted living referral service 
 
TeenForce provided a Los Gatos High School senior to help Barbara Smith around the office making phone calls and developing spreadsheets. Ask Barbara is a no-cost referral and placement service that helps families make the right choice when selecting an assisted living facility. They specialize in the Bay Area and provide help and support through an often stressful time. For more information, please visit http://www.askbarbarasmith.com/home.
 
"When the TeenForce brochure came in the mail, I thought hiring a local student would be a great way to get some extra office work completed. My business is growing, and I didn't have a lot of time to spend screening resumes and potential candidates, I just needed some help! The student TeenForce sent was fantastic. She was quick to learn, very professional, and wonderful to work with. I would hire her again whenever we have a big project or need some extra help around the office. If you have a local business, I recommend using TeenForce. I had a great experience with them." -Barbara Smith
