What is the Youth Opportunities Fair?
I'm excited to once again host my annual Youth Opportunities Fair, which will be held on Monday, March 13, 2023 at the Ivy Tech Community College Culinary and Conference Center from 12-7pm. The event presents students and parents with a variety of year-round and summer employment, internship, volunteer and service opportunities for youth of all ages. It is free to attend, and no registration is required.
- Non-working Youth: Participants under the working age of 14 can connect with local service providers offering summer and year-round programs, as well as volunteer opportunities designed for young people of all ages.
- Working Youth: Teens and young adults can connect with job, internship, and volunteer opportunities.
All ages are welcome!
