Planning for the future can feel overwhelming, but the Next Steps Fair makes it easier. Families and students who learn differently are invited to explore programs, resources, and opportunities that can help with life after high school.
What to Expect
A variety of organizations, including the Department of Mental Health and Vocational Rehabilitation, will be on hand to showcase programs, services, and opportunities to help students who learn differently take their next steps toward success. Whether your student is exploring college, careers, or other pathways, our fair has something for everyone - including social development, recreation, and summer programs for high school students.
This event is FREE and now open to both the Miriam community and the public! Students, parents, and anyone who is interested can join us from 4pm – 6pm at Miriam High School on January 27.
