Longmont area youth stepped into action in the summer of 2020 and beyond in big ways! Through the creation of the County Collectives, youth aged 16 to ~25 came together to respectfully lend their voices, time and resources to activities that could help the greater Boulder Valley. From helping to be a voice for various national issues to building grass-roots efforts to start to listen to one another, these up-and-coming leaders have been busy.
Most recently, the Arts team of the County Collectives has worked with the Longmont Community Foundation and the City of Longmont to develop Pop-Up Drive-In programming through CommCi at www.cocinemas.org. These film viewing sessions are done in a way to provide all of us entertainment opportunities, while showcasing local area restaurant dishes, creating big topic discussions, jobs and volunteer opportunities all with minimal contact.
