The future can be scary if you’re young. Even if you know what you want to be, how do you get there? How do you support yourself now while you’re preparing for the future?
And what role can a parent or employers play?
Come to the Pima County Youth Employment One-Stop Center open house on Tuesday, Dec. 9, and get some help.
