Individuals who are 14-24 years old and interested in finding resources that support their goals are invited to attend the 2023 Young Adult Resource Fair. Michigan Works! And other community partners are coming together to bring young adults in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties more information about education, training and more.
The Resource Fair will take place at the Dwight P Mitchell City Center Park in Benton Harbor, located at 127 Pipestone on Friday, May 19 from 12:00-4:00 pm. If it rains, the event will be hosted at Michigan Works!, located at 499 West Main Street in Benton Harbor.
“There are so many great resources for young adults that live in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties,” said Vice President of Workforce of Michigan Works! Berrien, Cass, Van Buren, Ian Gordon. “By bringing community partners together and having one place to share the information with young adults, we can help individuals get going with their next steps of their life. While we can help individuals with education, training and employment, we also offer wraparound services such as access to transportation, food, childcare, and many other services for those that are eligible. This event will be especially beneficial to those that are currently not enrolled in any secondary education programming.”
There will be information available about Michigan Works! Berrien, Cass, Van Buren young adult services, YouthBuild- Benton Harbor, Bridge Academy of Southwest Michigan, Jobs for Michigan’s Graduates, and more, all in one place. There will be light refreshments and gift card giveaways happening throughout the event. For more information or to register- visit miworks.org/events.
