Maria Boynton chats with Che Walker of the The Center for Working Families, Inc about the Fair.

"We're providing help with resumes, interview tips and training, legal services, immigration services, immigration services, and even lining these youth up with mentors. There's no excuse for a person not to come, it's on the MARTA line. All they have to do is show up. We'll take care of them."
