Registration/sign-up for the Moorhead Police Department’s
Summer Youth Program will be held on Wednesday,
June 12th at the Moorhead Armory (
1002 15th
Ave. N.) starting at
4:00
p.m. and will continue until the program is full or
7:00 p.m.
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 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 12:00 –
4:00 p.m. (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, Courts
Plus Fitness Center,
Thunder Road and swimming!
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.
