PIMA COUNTY, March 3, 2023 – Pima County’s Department of Community & Workforce Development, in partnership with Supervisor District 5, is hosting the Summer Youth and Family Resource fair on Saturday, March 11.

The resource fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the courtyard and conference rooms at the One-Stop Youth Employment Center, 320 N. Commerce Park Loop.

The event will have over 60 vendors, including nonprofits and community organizations who will be offering assistance for families, educational resources, free COVID-19 vaccines, giveaways, raffles, free food, music and more.

“We wanted to do a one-stop shop for families,” said program manager Jennifer Eckstrom. “And we want to show families that the community has summer programs for kids of all ages.”

Information about activities and free programs will be available, including materials about Pima Early Education Program scholarships, which offer free preschool classes to children from low-income households.

The event comes ahead of the Summer Youth Employment Program, which places young people at work sites across the County to learn job skills in internship programs. Youth involved in the program earn money, learn job skills and can also catch up on high school credits or earn college credits. Applications will be available at the fair.
