“Get A Life!” Alternatives to the Military Career Fair

Sun, 05/08/2011 - 6:32pm by nnomyadmin


Tuesday, May 10th from 1-6 P.M.
At Local 1199, 310 West 43rd St, Manhattan
(Between 8th & 9th Avenues)

This career fair will bring together dozens of:

  • Employers
  • Trade Schools
  • Job Training Programs
  • Colleges
  • Travel Programs
  • Community Service Programs
  • Internship Opportunities
  • SAT/ College Prep Programs
  • College & Financial Aid Counselors
  • Healthcare Providers
  • Transitional Living Programs
  • Veterans to Share their Experiences

There will also be pre-fair materials for teachers and youth program staff, resources to take home or back to school, and workshops on related topics.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.

For more information, contact the Ya-Ya Network (Youth Activists-Youth Allies) Phone: 212.239.0022     Fax: 212.239.4987    Email: [email protected]

The Ya-Ya Network is a youth-led organization. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist and allies to the LGBTQ community. We are committed to young people, especially from marginalized communities, as leaders in the movements for social and economic justice.

What Every Young Woman Should Know About the Military

What Every Young Woman Should Know About the Military

A Brochure for Young Women Thinking About Joining the Military | 2022

"When I joined, I knew that women in the military faced an uphill battle, but I didn't fully understand how serious the issues were and how reluctant leadership is to doing anything about it.

The truth is that there's a culture of harassment and assault that is incredibly harmful to all troops, but especially to gender minorities."
Brittany Ramos DeBarros
