Welcome to College for Kids!
 

Update

Parents & Families:
 
After much discussion and consideration, the Youth Education Outreach team has made the decision to cancel this summer’s College for Kids programming. We did not arrive at this decision lightly. We recognize the important role our programs play in the engagement of area youth during the summer months. 
 
At the same time, the safety and welfare of program participants is of primary importance to us. Although conditions associated with COVID-19 seem to be moving in the right direction, the current situation makes the planning of College for Kids events and activities in advance difficult. Protocols such as masking and social distancing remain in place, and these requirements, along with other factors, would limit our ability to present College for Kids in the interactive format parents and children have come to expect. 
 
If College for Kids is still right for your family when we return in the summer of 2022, we hope to see you then. For ideas and links to fun youth activities, we encourage you to visit our Facebook page.
