Thank You for Supporting Growing Up Boulder on Colorado Gives Day!​

We are deeply grateful for your generous donations to Growing Up Boulder on or before Colorado Gives Day! Your support will play a key role in helping us plan for an exciting and busy 2025.

Next year, we’ll continue making strides with the Boulder Child Friendly Cities Project (CFCI) project, which will empower young people and the city to create Boulder’s very first Youth Action Plan. We’ll also be gathering youth input on the idea of a teen hub and field station in the Civic Area—another project that will shape our community’s future. Cities outside of Boulder will continue to use our online Child Friendly City Map course to make their communities more playful, connected, and safer for biking and walking. Thanks to your donation, we can carry out these impactful initiatives and much more!

If you’re still planning your year-end giving, remember: when you donate to Growing Up Boulder, you ensure that every child has a voice, especially those who need it most. All of our programs are free, and more than half of the kids we work with identify as kids of color, LGBTQ+, immigrants, have disabilities, or come from families with low-incomes. With an incredibly lean team, we connect with and support over 1,000 kids each year, ensuring they know they matter and have what they need to thrive.

Your donation makes a real difference in the lives of these children and families. Thank you for being part of this important work!

Team Retreat Recap: Planning for an Exciting New Year!

This past Monday, our team gathered for a retreat to recharge and plan for the year ahead. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to come together, align our goals, and brainstorm how we can make an even bigger impact in 2025. From expanding our youth projects to planning new ways to engage with the community, we’re ready to make this upcoming year one of growth, creativity, and connection.

Thank you for being part of our journey, and stay tuned for some exciting updates!

As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank you for being part of our incredible community. Your support, energy, and commitment have helped us make a lasting impact on the lives of young people in Boulder—and for that, we are truly grateful.

This holiday season, we wish you moments of peace, joy, and connection with loved ones. We hope the new year brings you hope and inspiration as we continue our shared work of giving every child a voice and ensuring all kids can thrive.

We can’t wait to continue working together with you in 2025 to create a brighter, more inclusive future for Boulder.

Warmest wishes for a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

With gratitude,
The Growing Up Boulder Team
