Golden Teen Nights is a program designed and operated by a group of Golden High School students with Golden Rotarians serving as helpers/advisors. Teen Nights is designed to give students an opportunity to interact with their peers in a setting outside of school. It is held the first Thursday of each month (excluding June and July), 5:00 to 7:30 pm at the Golden Community Center. Attractions include board games, swimming, pool, soft drinks, pizza, snacks, and just hanging out. Other organizations are often invited to attend and make presentations to the teens. The program is funded by a Thriving Community grant from the City of Golden.
