Multigenerational Youth Programs
The Department of Senior Affairs Multigenerational Youth Program provides school-age programs for children in kindergarten through 8th grade at North Domingo Baca and Manzano Mesa multigenerational centers. In addition to the older adult programming and services offered at the City's six senior centers, our multigenerational centers provide an array of senior and youth programming including out-of-school time youth recreation programs.
