What’s New?
As of August 17, 3093 Voices have been added to the Community Wide Conversation!
Interested in helping make the Denver’s Child & Youth Friendly City conversation community wide? We are looking for Conversation Facilitators. As a Conversation Facilitator, you will have the opportunity to talk with groups around the city about their thoughts on making Denver the nation’s #1 Child & Youth Friendly City. A great chance to meet new people and learn what folks around the city are thinking. Join us for a Conversation Facilitator Training session!
Tuesday, September 4

Assets for Colorado Youth, 1580 Logan St, Ste 700, Denver, CO 80203
or

Everyone is welcome to be a Conversation Facilitator, but we would ask that you RSVP by 9/1 for either training so we can get an accurate count for food and facilitator kits. Please RSVP to katherine@buildassets.org.
