The 2019 Southside Summer Experience is a series of pop-up events and day camps that provide positive activities throughout the South Side for youth and their families.
As part of the US DOJ Community Based Crime Reduction project, the events bring together community members, YPD officers, and neighborhood youth in a safe, fun, and engaging environment. Through hundreds of door-to-door interviews, residents identified a need for more opportunities and activities for youth as one of the most desired improvements for their neighborhood. One event will be held each week in the CBCR target area, between Market St. and Zedaker. The first 2019 Southside Summer Experience took place on South Ave. on Monday, May 20 and the next will be held at Horizon Science Academy on Wednesday, June 5. All events take place from 5pm-7pm and are free to the public.
