Community Services (continued)

community resources and engaging them in City recreation programs has been an ongoing and collaborative effort for the Division. Previously, several community events such as supporting Latin Heritage Month with the Latin Concert and Zumbathon, Summer Fun in the Park, 50+ Ball, Free Aquatic Center visits for youth, and ensuring that our City continues to value youth by intentionally utilizing the 41 developmental assets as a framework for conversations, training, and decision making have all been part of our community outreach strategy, however, given the budget reductions these events have been cancelled for the next two years.
