The Moorhead Police Summer Youth Program started in 1979 in an effort to get police and youth together in a positive non- threatening atmosphere.

The SYP provides 200 Moorhead youth, ages 8-12, a chance to gather with older mentors from the Moorhead Police Department, the community, youth services and schools for lunch, an educational component, and an activity once a week from about noon to 4:00pm. This program is designed for Moorhead youth who are not participating in other summer programs (drama, baseball, softball, etc.) and need activities to occupy their summer days. We want kids who will be able to attend most, if not all, of the activities.

Each participant will receive a t-shirt which must be worn to each activity. Participants are expected to behave and have loads of fun!

The program is without cost to the youth or their families. Money to fund the program is from a grant from the Department of Public Safety.

Space is limited to the first 200 kids who sign up.
