YCEA offers nonprofit financial webinar and job fair at PA CareerLink this week

The York City government meeting on June 2, 2025, highlighted several community events and initiatives aimed at supporting local businesses and fostering community engagement. Mayor's Monday Message emphasized the importance of upcoming webinars and festivals that cater to various interests and needs within the city.

One of the key announcements was a webinar hosted by the York County Economic Alliance (YCEA) focused on helping non-profit organizations improve their financial management. Scheduled for Tuesday from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, the session aims to equip participants with essential skills for managing finances, which is often a challenging aspect for those passionate about non-profit work. A second webinar on the same day, from 6 PM to 8 PM, will address strategies for enhancing digital presence, allowing businesses to advertise effectively without significant costs.

The meeting also detailed a job fair taking place on Wednesday from 1 PM to 4 PM at PA CareerLink, located at 841 Fogel Song Road. This event is open to all job seekers, including those with criminal records, providing a vital opportunity for individuals seeking a second chance in the workforce.

In addition to these initiatives, the Mayor announced several local events, including the annual street rod parade on Friday, which will travel down Market Street starting at noon. Residents are advised to plan their travel accordingly due to road closures during the parade. The Saint Mary's Cultural Festival will also take place on Friday and Saturday, offering a variety of activities and entertainment.

Other notable events include the African American First Friday in Penn Park and the Firefly Night Market, both scheduled for Friday evening. The meeting concluded with a mention of a free family film screening of "Kubo and the Two Strings" at the Appel Center, along with the Stop the Violence festival at Penn Park on Saturday.

These announcements reflect York City's commitment to fostering community spirit and supporting local initiatives, ensuring residents have access to valuable resources and engaging activities.
