In 2019, the program hosted 191 events for over 10,000 participants
in 22 locations. COVID-19 has required us to change the way we run the
program, so instead of live events in parks, we’ve revamped the
program to make it virtual. SD Nights will be holding Facebook Live
events and Zoom meetings online, with interactive activities, games,
classes and conversations designed especially for teens – with add-on
content to promote health and wellness.
*All SD Nights VIP Events are free for youth ages 10-18. RSVP
required for all events; contact Carl McCullough at 619-961-0159 or carl.mccullough@sdcounty.ca.gov for
