Marin County officials will host a job resources event this weekend in Point Reyes Station aimed at connecting West Marin residents with employment opportunities.

The West Marin Connect Partnership event is scheduled from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the Dance Palace.

Government agencies and private companies will provide information about job openings, internships and job retraining programs.

Attendees can speak directly with employers about available positions.

The program is organized by the County of Marin, the office of Supervisor Dennis Rodoni, the Small Business Development Center and the West Marin Fund. Organizers say the goal is to expand access to employment resources for residents in coastal communities.

The event is free and open to the public. Activities for children, live music, prizes and food will be provided.

The Dance Palace is located at 503 B St. in downtown Point Reyes Station.
