Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission Sponsors First Annual Youth Expo

Durango, CO: The City of Durango’s Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission, in partnership with the Durango Discovery Museum, are proud to offer the first-ever Youth Expo on March 6th from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Discovery Museum. The Youth Expo is an all-in-one forum that allows teenagers to learn about all of the local options for high school, activities, clubs, volunteer opportunities, jobs, internships, and resources available to local teens.

“The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Commission conducted a survey last year and found that Durango teens feel like there is a lack of resources for them,” commented Aiyana Anderson, Chair of the Youth Expo Committee. “We decided to create an opportunity for teens to learn what is already available to them, and the idea for the Youth Expo was born! The response from the community has been tremendous – we already have almost 20 exhibitors and are still accepting applications.”

Admission to the event is free. For more information about the event, or to find out how to be an exhibitor, please visit the website at www.durangogov.org, or contact us at 375-5005 or by email at [email protected].
