Students in Junior High school and up, along with parents or guardians, are invited to attend the 2025 Jackson Parish Youth Expo on April 8th, where they will get to engage with area employers and educators to get a better idea of the opportunities available to them locally now and in the future.

Sponsored by the Workforce Development Board and the Jackson Parish School District, the event will take place from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Charles H. Garrett Community Center, located at 182 Industrial Drive in Jonesboro. Brown bag suppers, prepared by the Jackson Parish Sheriff’s Office and Jonesboro State Bank, will be provided for all attendees.
