Tables are free. Connect directly with students at our Resource Fair, 12:00–2:00 PM. Perfect for colleges, trade schools, employers, and community organizations. Vendor check-in is 11:00–11:30 AM. Checking in early puts you ahead of the students at lunch. One table and one or two chairs are provided on request. There are no power outlets at the tables, so bring charged batteries if you need them; WiFi is available. Requests close October 10, 2026, and we reply within one week.

We are especially looking for: mental health providers · colleges and universities · trade schools · employers and hiring fairs · healthcare professionals · financial institutions · nonprofits · community organizations
