On Saturday, May 30, the summer program, 101 Things for Youth to Do in Grant County, kicked off in front of the Grant County Courthouse.
The program is organized and supported by the Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, coordinated by Razanna Robinson-Thomas, under the auspices of the Grant County Community Health Council.
The free program takes place until Aug. 7, when it will end with Our County Coachella.
Youths in sixth through 12th grades are eligible to receive a card, which lists all the activities, including 60 located at local businesses, and the rest being items the youths can do on their own. The card also allows free travel on Corre Caminos buses. Cards were distributed to students at Silver and Cobre middle and high schools on the last day of school.
When 20 actitives have been filled in, the cards may be dropped off at several locations for prize drawings that will take place throughout the event every Wednesday. Youths can fill out multiple cards during the event for extra chances at prizes.
For more information, especially for drop off locations, as well as directions to and what the youth can expect at each place, go to http://gcchc.org/101-things-for-youth or call 575-388-1198.
