Area youth will have the opportunity discover resources and support as they enter adulthood as part of The “Real” Game of Life Resource Fair.
The Chautauqua County Department of Mental Hygiene and Social Services, in collaboration with Gustavus Adolphus (GA) Family Services, YWCA Jamestown, and Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), will host this year’s resource fair from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, April 8 in the GA Family Services gymnasium.
Geared towards Chautauqua County youth ages 14 to 21, this free event is designed to assist young adults in the community as they navigate the often-complex path to independence. The Resource Fair connects attendees with local organizations offering tools and guidance in key areas of adulthood, including employment, education, housing, finance, transportation, healthcare, and more.
Participants will have the opportunity to interact with local agencies, gain insight through real-life skill-building activities, and explore practical options available throughout the county. As in years past, engaging with vendors earns attendees raffle tickets for chances to win exciting prize baskets.
Attendees who arrive before 12:30 p.m. will be entered into a special door prize drawing for an iPad, case, detachable keyboard valued at $500.
Transportation support is available through CHQ Transit. Attendees can find bus schedules and reduced student rates on the CHQ Transit website or by scanning the QR code included on the event flyer.
