Collective Connection: A New Program at O-YA
Recently, O-YA conducted a community needs assessment and asked residents what kinds of programs they’d like to see. One clear theme emerged: opportunities to strengthen connections between youth and their parents/caregivers.
In response, O-YA is launching Collective Connection — a pilot series designed to bring youth and their caregivers together through fun, shared experiences. Once a month, we’ll host a community event that gives youth a chance to connect with a parent, grandparent, guardian, or another important caregiver in their life. NEW in 2026, we are opening a limited number of tickets to adult community members as well!
Who Can Attend
This event is open to all community members.
Adults may attend on their own.
Youth must be accompanied by an adult (no drop-offs).
Tickets
Individual Ticket – $15
For adults attending without youth.
Family Ticket – $25
For adults attending with youth (covers the adult(s) and youth(s) in their care).
