Join other Longmont teens for a Life Skills Fair on Saturday, March 30 from noon to 2 pm at the Boulder County Fairgrounds, 9595 Nelson Road in Longmont.
Created for youth aged 11-17, the fair will feature a live DJ, food and games as well as hands-on workshops introducing access to health and practical skills, job opportunities and City resources. While exploring stations where they can learn a variety of skills relative to health, future careers, and other practical matters, youth will gain opportunities to win prizes.
“At last year’s Youth Summit, many participants asked that we provide more ways for Longmont youth to get together, outside of school, in non-competitive ways. We’re providing the Life Skills Fair in response to those requests.”
– Hilda Zamora Hursh, Manager of Children, Youth and Families
"We're excited to offer an empowering space for teens to gain practical skills, expand their professional horizons, and interact with community resources. Our goal is to make it fun to learn skills that participants will actually use in life, and to help them to broaden the scope of the opportunities they imagine for their futures.”
– Longmont City Councilmember Shiquita Yarbrough
The Fair's mission is to give all youth an opportunity to acquire new skills and explore diverse career paths while enjoying each other’s company in festive atmosphere.
The Fair is free, and no registration is required. Have questions? Please contact the Youth Center at 303-651-8580.
