Please join the "Youth Leadership Healing Committee" for a day of healing in honor of the March 2021 Table Mesa (King Soopers) tragedy. Adult allies from Growing Up Boulder, Mayamotion Healing, and CU's Renée Crown Wellness Institute have supported 18 high school youth to create a healing event for the whole community. We hope you will join us. Please publicize to your networks as well (pdf below). This work was funded by the Community Foundation Boulder County. | |

In 2019, Growing Up Boulder embarked upon a year-long journey to co-create the nation's first, printed, bilingual, child-friendly city map. We did so with almost 800 children and families, half of whom were from underrepresented populations. In May 2022, we will publish our fourth edition of the map.
Growing Up Boulder's Child- and Teen-Friendly City Maps seek to educate and inspire children, families, and community organizations through the creation of maps co-created with young people and their families to highlight their favorite locations in Boulder. They promote the values of inclusion, diversity, community engagement, collaboration, and celebration.
Sponsorship opportunities are available (see file below)!
