Have you ever wondered what Snapchat is and how kids are using it? On May 16th, Josh Cordell and a panel of youth will be discussing just that! Who better to teach us about social media than the youth who are currently using it?

For Westside Youth’s Parenting Series, we will bring you varied perspectives and information on kids and youth to help you parent on-purpose and raise kids who know and love Jesus.

These varied perspectives help us make the best decisions for our kids, know what they are facing and how to communicate with them.
Childcare is provided for birth through 5th grade, but please register your child so we know how many kids to anticipate.
