A Fulton County commissioner and a South Fulton councilmember are hosting a summer teen hiring fair.

The fair — co-hosted by Commissioner Marvin Arrington, Jr. and Councilwoman Helen Willis — will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 21 at Welcome All Park & Multipurpose Facility at 4255 Will Lee Road.

Last year more than 200 young people attended and more than 50 received jobs right then, Arrington said in a news release.

Teens looking for jobs will speak with potential employers and local human resources professionals.
