Streets Crew Leader

A Little About The City: Jacksonville has one of the youngest demographics in the US with a median age of 22.8 and an estimated population of 75-80,000. The City offers a great work/life balance. We are rich in history and deep in pride of our local military as demonstrated at Lejeune Memorial Gardens near Marine Corp Base Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station. Many of our military return and plant roots here because of the lifestyle and all that the City has to offer. Another reason people stay in Jacksonville... We are a Caring Community as stated in our City seal.

Jacksonville tourism is growing, with festivals and events including some annual favorites like the Jacksonville Jamboree, Winterfest, Oktoberfest, Jazz in the City and Onslow Veterans Pow Wow. The Marine Corp Half Marathon is just one of our premiere sports events, and others include course challenges, soccer, triathlon, boxing, pickleball, softball, basketball, disc golf and other tournaments.
