FROM SURVIVING TO THRIVING
We reduce youth involvement with violence and increase supports that allow youth and their families to thrive by integrating community resources into the systems of the cities and school districts in the greater Denver area
Youth and families benefit when local school districts, government, and community-based organizations work together. The Denver Resilience Coalition is a youth and community-driven collective that works with key “systems” stakeholders to drive alignment on priorities and transformation in how we work together to achieve them.
Who We Are
The doers who sit within the community, the city, and the school district. We come together to address both tactical and systemic issues that we cannot solve alone. We value integrity and work to ensure that every action we take deepens trust between us. We inspire and learn from each other.
What We Do
We co-create solutions to the challenges that inhibit collaboration across the greater Denver ecosystem. We are currently focused on youth leadership, certification for collaboration, systems for wrap-around support, and fundraising.
How We Work
We co-create solutions together in impact teams and then go to existing community meetings to listen and learn about pressing priorities and solicit feedback. We annually revisit our strategic priorities, structures, and leadership. We do not wait for others to tell us what to do; we know what to do and we are doing it.
