Here are just a few ways to get involved in the Year About Youth initiative in 2025 (and beyond):

• Be there for parents. Listen to them, share resources. Refer parents to our strong Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) program at Northrop Education Center.
• Consider donating time or money to to one of the many local community organizations that support families.
• Be a good neighbor! Share a meal, offer a ride, pass along hand-me-downs, or look out for kids in your neighborhood.
• At home, simple actions like reading to children daily or setting aside tech-free “family time” can make a big difference. 
• As an organization, you could host a special event for children or youth or highlight the positive qualities and accomplishments of local kids throughout the year.

To submit an event to be added to the Calendar of Youth Events, please fill out this form or contact Michon.

*These events are not hosted or sponsored by the City of Rochester or the Office of the Mayor. Should you have any questions about the particular event, please reach out to its organizer.
