Explore Opportunities for Teens: Life Skills Fair
Learn skills, explore careers, and have fun at the fairgrounds
The City of Longmont’s Children, Youth, and Families division is hosting a Life Skills Fair on Saturday, March 30 from noon to 2 pm at the Boulder County Fairgrounds at 9595 Nelson Road in Longmont.
Created for teens aged 11-17, the fair will feature a live DJ and games as well as hands-on workshops to share 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. 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.
“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,” said Hilda Zamora Hursh, Manager of Children, Youth and Families. “We’re providing the Life Skills Fair in response to those requests.”
Representatives from Youth Center staff will be on hand to introduce themselves and share details on their free afterschool programs, including Youth Council, Aspire, GRIP, and YORS, the Center’s recording studio.
"We're excited to offer an empowering space for teens to gain practical skills, expand their professional horizons, and interact with community resources," said Longmont City Councilmember Shiquita Yarbrough. “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.”
