We Are Aurora Youth is a program designed to give the youth ages 13 to 18 of Aurora a fun and safe place to hang out during school breaks. Youth can receive free entry to a designated recreational center on weekdays from noon to 7 p.m. Youth will be able to participate in staff led activities such as basketball, volleyball, flag football, esports, gift card competitions, and other activities.

From noon to 4 p.m. the designated recreation central will have free meals for youth provided by Aurora Public Schools during the We Are Aurora Youth program.     

We Are Aurora Youth's next time of operation will be Summer Break. For Central Recreation Center, Moorhead Recreation Center, and Southeast Recreation Center and Fieldhouse this will take place from May 27th to August 1st. Check back soon for more information!
