Our summer market runs every Tuesday from May 13th to October 14th at Paonia Town Park, from 5:00 PM to 7:30 PM for most of the season, with hours shifting to 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM starting September 2nd. It’s a lively community event with live music, wood-fired pizza, and educational opportunities throughout the season.

This space is intended for ages 14-18 who would benefit from learning how sex and our sexuality shows up in our bodies, our relationships, and our culture. Each session will involve the introduction of new content aiming towards comprehensive sexual health education and discussion. The curriculum of these facilitated sessions is designed to empower young adults to foster care, safety, and joy with their bodies and their sexuality.
