Public Notice –

January 27, 2025

On Tuesday evening the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that they removed the prior administration’s guidelines that limited federal immigration arrests near “sensitive areas,” which included churches, schools, and after-school care centers.

While the Youth and Family Division is unsure how this new directive will impact our community, we remain committed to helping ensure our campuses­ are safe and welcoming spaces for all Salt Lake City children and their families

Salt Lake City’s Youth and Family Division welcomes all children to participate in its programs.  All children and their families are welcome in our community centers and to participate in our many programs for children, teens, and adults.

Please know that we are not obligated to collect information on the immigration status of kids and their families, and as such, we do not have a record of anyone’s immigration status as part of participation in any YouthCity programing.

Lastly, we want to remind guardians that YouthCity children must be picked up by a parent, legal guardian or listed emergency contact. YouthCity staff will continue to follow this policy.

The Youth and Family Division will continue to provide innovative and enriching programming and events across Salt Lake City to benefit all residents through its three branches of service. We will share updated information and guidance with families as we work to understand the rapidly shifting federal guidelines.

Please contact YouthCity Program Managers if you need to update your child’s emergency contact information.

Thank you for trusting us with the care of your children.

In partnership,

Kim Thomas

Director, Youth and Family Division
