Thank you to the 22 vendors that came to the Youth Opportunity Fair to showcase youth opportunities from education, employment, volunteer and youth recreational programming. We had a total of 150 individuals attend, 70 of those participants being youth. The MYAT team looks forward to bringing this event back next year with even more vendors to bring awareness to the opportunities available for youth. Stay tuned!
