I am a Youth Options Case Manager.. I deal with disadvantaged youth. I am looking for field trip ideas that will not only educate but be fun. The field trip has to encompass workforce readiness, education, leadership, and responibility in addition to other things. Please help.

ages 14-21 I need to teach them the importance of staying in school or continuing their education. Also prepare them to enter the labor market and become valuable employees.

We are in Oklahoma and the cost cannot be outrageous but we have a little bit to work with. It is a federal grant program. (WIA - workforce investment act)

take them to the State Park set it up with the Rangers, call on the fire and police departments, also talk to State Farm, Bell Telephone and some of the larger stores (Sears, Wal-Mart) who have always tried to work with the community. Amoco Oil, BP Petroleum also has done a lot of community work in Texas

My favorite preschool field trip was to the police station. We got to look through one of those windows that is a mirror on one side so that the suspect can't tell who is watching them. A mother of one of the preschoolers combed her hair in the mirror while the cops took turns lifting us up to watch. Other ideas: fire station, farm, zoo, nature walk, dentist office, a bookstore or library that does story time.

Definitely take them to visit any local colleges or universities you can. They'll probably enjoy the atmosphere, and the faculty can do their pitch to promote themselves while you get a hand encouraging them to go on beyond high school.
Usually somewhere around the area you can find a team-building obstacle course, where they put your groups through activities designed to build trust and community, and they get to be active.
Maybe you could do something as simple as taking them to the public library and have them check something out so they start to take advantage of the resources available to them.

You did not say what city or state or what cost restrictions you have - zoo (they have to figure how must it would cost to feed a certain animal) - library ( they would have to budget cost for new books against new carpet) - hospital (they would have to do a cost analysis on people versus employees) - doctor's office ( they would have to budget the people and the hours open) etc!@

if you're near a military installation call the base and ask about tours. also if you're near a big naval base they usually have tours on their ships (kids love those)
