Event Details

The Dance Palace at 503 B Street will buzz with information booths and real conversations with employers. The County of Marin, District 4 Supervisor Dennis Rodoni’s office, the Small Business Development Center, and the West Marin Fund teamed up for this event.

There’s no need to register or pay a fee—just show up and see what’s out there. Opportunities will suit everyone from recent high school grads in Point Reyes Station to experienced folks from Olema or the fast-growing businesses along the Tomales coast.

What to Expect at the Fair

It’s going to be lively, maybe even a bit chaotic in the best way, with both government and private employers setting up shop inside the Dance Palace. You can walk right up to recruiters, ask about open positions, timelines, and what skills they’re actually looking for in Marin County’s job market.

Maybe you want to try a new career in infrastructure around Nicasio, or you’re after an internship that could lead to a steady gig in Fairfax. Either way, the fair’s designed to make it easier for West Marin residents to connect with employment support.

  • Current openings and internships: Check out new job opportunities in West Marin, including roles at local businesses and public agencies in places like Point Reyes Station, Olema, and Bolinas.
  • Retraining pathways: Find out about retraining programs through the SBDC and other partners—these can help you switch to in-demand fields along the coast.
  • Direct recruiter access: Chat one-on-one with employers about job duties, what they require, and how long hiring might take in Marin’s rural economy. There’s everything from fisheries to hospitality and environmental services.
  • Support services at hand: Get tips on writing your resume, prepping for interviews, and navigating local career resources that actually fit West Marin’s communities.
  • Family-friendly activities: There’ll be stuff for kids, live music, prizes, and free food, so you don’t have to leave anyone at home to take part.

Why This Matters to West Marin

For towns like Point Reyes Station, Bolinas, and Inverness, this fair is a real chance for job seekers and employers to meet face-to-face. Small businesses in Tomales and Nicasio, and public service jobs within Marin County, could really benefit from a more connected local workforce.

By working with the West Marin Fund and local districts, the event tries to open doors for residents who deal with transportation or scheduling headaches—problems that just come with living in rural Marin. The hope? To widen access to employment support, so families can build steadier lives and keep West Marin’s communities thriving, from Olema to Mill Valley and even back toward San Rafael.

Accessibility and How to Attend

The organizers really care about inclusivity and accessibility. You can request disability accommodations by phone, CA Relay 711, or email—just try to do it at least five business days ahead.

The county does its best to meet last-minute requests, too. If you need documents in a different format, just ask.

Living in Discovery Bay-adjacent Marin neighborhoods? Or maybe you commute from San Anselmo or Fairfax? This event is a practical, local way to connect with employers who actually value West Marin’s talent pool.

If you’re anywhere near Point Reyes Station, Inverness, or Tomales and thinking about a new career, circle April 11 on your calendar. The whole thing’s a community effort that really shows off Marin County’s close-knit networks—from the old dance halls to the farms, creeks, and windswept coastline that make West Marin what it is.

This is a no-cost, family-friendly shot to meet employers, check out internships, and maybe find your next step across Marin’s patchwork of towns.
