ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – After a successful season, the City of Albuquerque alongside Bernalillo County is getting ready to celebrate one last summer of nonviolence celebration. The city and county are partnering to get Albuquerque’s youth involved in the community.
It’s an effort to keep children safe and away from crime. This week’s final theme is to celebrate the day of remembrance by helping those who have lost a loved one to homicide. “This is all about making sure we have safe places for youth to gather to get some resources and to give them a positive activity. And that’s what this is about. We still have a lot of work to do,” said Albuquerque City Councilor Nicole Rodgers.
The last event will take place Saturday at the Albuquerque Community Safety headquarters from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
