• The Career Resources Fair for Teens is held during the school day so that schools and educators can bring teens to attend as a part of a class trip.

• For school staff or community-based organizations bringing students, please request a ticket for each student attending so that we can get an accurate count of potential attendees.
• Please be advised that this registration is only for teens, families, and educators choosing to attend the Career Resources Fair for Teens. Organizations cannot register to table or attend the event through this Eventbrite. If you are an organization that is interested in applying for a tabling spot at the fair, please email us: ccp@nypl.org.
