HEYA! Trades Fair Brings Students and Local Trades Together in Monte Vista

On April 2, 2025, the Health Equity Youth Alliance (HEYA!) hosted a Trades Fair at the Ski Hi Event Center in Monte Vista, Colorado. The event welcomed students from Centennial High School in San Luis, Mountain Valley High School in Saguache, Moffat High School, and local homeschool programs. Youth had the opportunity to explore career paths in the trades through hands-on activities, demonstrations, and conversations with professionals from across the San Luis Valley. Local vendors represented a wide range of industries offering students a closer look at the many skilled trades that help shape their communities.
