Transitions For The Future Virtual Fair Begins Nov. 4

Press release from Niles Township High Schools District 219:

The 20th annual BEST Resource Fair, “Transitions for the Future,” will be released on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. The Fair is designed for students with special needs, their parents/guardians, and professionals to make post-high school transition plans.

Please go to www.besttransition.org on / after November 4, 2020 to access the presentations and vendor information.

This year (due to the current COVID restrictions), instead of hosting an “in-person” Fair, the BEST Fair is providing families with a “Virtual Fair/Informational Guide” to review at their convenience. Within the presentation, families will find information about State and Federal funding as well as a one-page highlight document for each participating vendor. Our vendors represent a diverse group of organizations offering opportunities and information in the following areas: Apprenticeship and Trade Programs; Education Opportunities; Employment Services & Day Programs; Government Programs; Health Services; Legal/Financial Resources; Recreational Opportunities; Referral Resources and Information; Residential Programs; Transportation Resources; and Vocational Programs and Trade Schools.

The Resource Fair is organized by Business and Education for Students in Transition (BEST), a committee sponsored by The Cove School, Evanston Township High School District #202, Illinois Department of Human Services/Division of Rehabilitation Services, JCFS Chicago, Lester and Rosalie Anixter Center, Maine Township High School District #207, New Trier Township High School District #203, Niles Township High School District #219, and Orchard Village.
