Field Trips

Engaging youth is a core part of how we are preparing for the Salt Lake City, Utah 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. The students in our classrooms today will be the volunteers, leaders, innovators, and fans who help shape that moment. This watch party is an early step in that journey, an opportunity to spark curiosity, build understanding of the Games’ legacy in Utah, and invite students into a shared civic experience.

If you are interested in participating, please reach out to [email protected] to confirm your timing.
