We aim to spark curiosity, stimulate creativity, and broaden horizons as children engage with professionals from various industries. Event Highlights: Diverse Career Booths: Children will have the opportunity to visit exciting career booths representing professions like science, technology, arts, healthcare, engineering, and more. Volunteers from each industry will be on hand to share their experiences, answer questions, and demonstrate exciting aspects of their professions. Hands-on Activities: The event will feature numerous interactive activities that allow children to explore different careers. Each activity will be educational and entertaining, from creating art masterpieces to conducting simple science experiments. Back-to-School Supplies and Haircuts: To add to the excitement, back-to-school haircuts and back-to-school supplies will be available. Career materials will also be available to promote learning and creativity. “We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to dream big and aspire to greatness,” said Lori Chaffers, Executive Director, Outreach. “The Children’s Career Fair is a perfect platform for children to explore various professions, ignite their imaginations, and gain valuable insights into different career options. By exposing them to diverse possibilities, we hope to motivate and prepare them for a bright future.” We are grateful to all the volunteers, partners, and sponsors whose support has made this event possible.
