GLO Youth Prom

The GLO Center’s Youth Group is throwing this year’s Prom from 5-8 on Thursday, April 25th at 425 Downtown. The theme is “A Walk Into The Night” which evokes images of the forest at night or a romantic walk under the stars. The event is for current middle and high school students ages 12-18 and there is a $15 entrance fee. Per the venue’s rules, no glitter is allowed. The event will include snacks and drinks, a DJ, and a photographer as well as a sensory-friendly area on the patio. We are raising money to cover the cost of the event and to fund GLO Youth events in the future.
