Teamsters - Local 696

About Us

The approach of Local Union 696 to conduct School-to-Work activities is one that is marked by the use of multiple strategies based on the creativity of its members to impact students at many different levels of the educational system. For example, Local 696 sponsors a scholarship program to help students continue their education at the postsecondary level, participates in Career Day activities at local high schools, provides presentations to high school and university students, and provides internships for summer employment to students. At the community level, members serve on school boards, parent teacher organizations, youth sports programs, and are represented on the Mayor’s Literacy Council. At the state level, members are involved in the Workforce Investment Council, the Governor’s K-12 Advisory Council, and the Kansas Business Education Coalition.
