This event is geared toward high school juniors & seniors, college students and young adults who are currently out of school, along with teachers, guidance counselors, youth program staff and parents. Young people have limited access to the resources that can help them explore the wide range of ways to meet their goals and make informed decisions about their future plans. Few high schools have the time or staff to track down these types of resources. So we are bringing them all together in one place. Every young person should have access to current, accurate information and to the wide range of opportunities that are available to them. To register, please fill out this form (pasted below and attached) and email or fax to us by May 4th.
