Close to 200 young adults came out to our 6th Annual
Youth Summer Internship and Job Fair in Red Hook this week!
The Red Hook Community Justice Center began organizing the Summer Internship and Job Fair for the last 6 years in response to high unemployment levels among local teens and their strong desire to find work during the summer. Young People gain valuable skills that help them academically, professionally and most importantly, we want young people to have meaningful activities during their summer break.
This year we had 18 organizations come out to recruit! A
