Healing Day of Remembrance | |
An all-ages event created by youth to honor our community’s losses and recovery from the Table Mesa (King Soopers) tragedy last March 2021 | |
Growing Up Boulder invites all ages in the community to a youth-led “healing” event - the Healing Day of Remembrance - to mark one year since the March 2021 Table Mesa tragedy at King Soopers (#boulderstrong). Please join us on tomorrow - Saturday, April 2 - from 10am to noon at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMOCA). Organized by Boulder’s Youth Leadership Healing Committee (YLHC), this event will offer opportunities for community members of all ages to heal from this tragedy through art, poetry, massage, acudetox, music, community connection, and more.
The YLHC is composed of diverse, dedicated high school students. Over the last two months, these students have brought a full range of emotions, perspectives, ideas and energy to planning this event. Their commitment to our community’s resilience is reflected in the meaningful set of activities available to anyone in need of healing from this painful tragedy.

Boulder's Child-Friendly and Teen-Friendly
City Maps
| |
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.
