Registration/sign-up
for the Moorhead Police Department’s Summer Youth Program will be held
on Wednesday, June 17 at the Moorhead Armory (1002 15 Ave. N.) starting
at 4 pm and will continue until the program is full or 7 pm. We are
only able to accommodate a total of 200 youth ages 8-12 years old, so
availability is on a first-come first-serve basis. A parent or legal guardian must accompany their child at the time of registration.
This program is free to participants thanks to grant funding through the Minnesota Youth Intervention Program Association (YIPA) by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Minnesota YIPA is an organization that advocates for community-based youth intervention programs. This program provides an excellent opportunity for police officers to interact with youth and help develop strong relationships and support positive decision making. The Summer Youth Program started as an opportunity for children in the community to participate in fun activities they wouldn’t have otherwise been able to.
The program is held every Wednesday from 12– 4 pm (or later on some weeks) for 7 weeks in the summer and targets all youth in the community who are available to attend each week. Each afternoon consists of lunch, an educational component and a recreational activity including roller skating, bowling, Thunder Road Amusement Park, swimming and more!
Youth Services Coordinator Louis Ochoa and School Resource Officer Brian Dahl are the coordinators for this program and can be contacted at 218.790.4054 or 218.790.4259 if you have any questions.
See the 2015 Schedule of Events for all the details. Media outlets are welcome and invited to come to registration or to stop by any Wednesday to see first-hand how exciting and successful this program has become!
