Aprendiendo Juntos is a program that is divided into two sections:
The first part of Aprendiendo Juntos involves a WhatsApp group where Mountain Youth collaborates with various organizations in Eagle County to share resources, events, and successes. Many community members join the group to stay updated on local events. Additionally, it serves as a platform for the community to ask questions about everyday matters.
The second part of Aprendiendo Juntos consists of a free program that offers monthly workshops on topics relevant to the Spanish-speaking community. We have covered subjects such as fostering patience, active listening and connection, goal setting and achievement, coping skills, building trust in relationships, suicide prevention trainings, real estate, and housing programs, etc. These workshops provide valuable learning opportunities and help participants develop new, supportive relationships. Additionally, we offer free dinner and childcare for our monthly events.

Testimonials
The Aprendiendo Juntos workshops are a place where I learn new concepts and strategies that I was able to implement at home. I am grateful for all the knowledge learned thanks to Aprendiendo Juntos.
APRENDIENDO JUNTOS ATTENDEE
The strategies that were given in the Aprendiendo Juntos classes personally helped me and my husband to value and respect what my teenage daughters think. What impacted me the most was the testimonies from the young people in the classes- I was able to learn from youth that shared their point of view.

ASISTENTE DE APRENDIENDO JUNTOS
Las estrategias que se dieron en las clases de Aprendiendo Juntos personalmente nos ayudaron a mí y a mi esposo a valorar y respetar lo que piensan mis hijas adolescentes. Lo que más me impactó fueron los testimonios de los jóvenes en las clases; pude aprender de jóvenes que compartían su punto de vista.

History
What started as a small What’s App group to connect the Spanish-speaking community has evolved into a successful Facebook live virtual series, Aprendiendo Juntos ( Learning Together). Local experts present and discuss topics including behavioral health, childcare, education, economic assistance, and more.
Mountain Youth partners with Eagle Valley Behavioral Health to sponsor community talks throughout the year. These discussions offer participants tools to take into their daily lives that increase well-being and a greater connection to local resources. These family engagement efforts provide a network of support which then evolved into virtual online presentations by trusted community leaders, providing families with connection and community.
