Community Learning Series

Gun Safety with Longmont Police Department

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual – it can be hard to know what’s going on with your kids. Join the Longmont Youth Center for a free gun safety class designed to keep your kids safe. Special presenters from the Longmont Police Department will explain how youth are accessing guns, how to keep your children and household safe from weapons, and how to help your kids respond effectively and safely to bullying, harassment and threats from other youth. Families and youth of all ages are welcome, snacks and childcare provided.

• Who: All ages! Parents and peers are welcome to attend. There will be breakout groups in English and in Spanish. 
• What: A free series of lectures and workshops designed to empower parents and peers with information to keep kids safe. The series will focus on how to spot early warning signs of gang involvement and substance use in our community, and to promote gun safety and mental health in our local youth.
• Why: To build community, heal from hurts, and empower parents and youth.
• Where: Lashley Street Station (1200 Lashley Street)
• When: Monday, July 17 from 6-8pm
• How: Register online today for one or all classes in the series, or call Claudia Orona at 303-774-3766
