Community Events

Join us to celebrate the launch of Colorado Refugee Connect (CRC)—a website dedicated to connecting volunteers with meaningful opportunities working with the refugee community—and the Colorado Refugee Speakers Bureau (RSB). 

Foster parents provide temporary care of a child or children while supporting family and agency efforts to reunify the parents with their children. Most children served by the agency remain at home, but for those children whose safety requires temporary removal, the goal is always to reunite the family.

Trust Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®) is an evidence-based parenting and intervention model developed by Dr. Karyn Purvis and Dr. David Cross at the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. TBRI® has been built on a solid foundation of neuropsychological theory and research, tempered by humanitarian principles.

Our Information Nights are open to any interested member of the public to learn more about foster care and adoption through the Collaborative Foster Care Program of Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson Counties. There is no cost to attend.

The purpose of this week is to highlight the positive youth influence in our State and local communities and to recognize the outstanding community organizations and business which assist Colorado' youth towards healthier lifestyles and life choices.

Elevating Hope and Leadership at the 2018 Strengthening Colorado Families and Communities Conference

Vail Marriott, 715 W Lionshead Circle, Vail, CO 81657

Save the Date for the 3rd Strengthening Colorado Families & Communities Biennial Conference in 2018. Mark your calendars... with lots of lead time (15+ months) we're hoping your calendars are open to join us in Vail next year! More information coming soon at Illuminate Colorado.

Every day, foster parents stand up for children in our community by opening their home and their hearts to children in need of temporary parental care. Foster parents have many roles. One of the most critical is offering protection and basic provisions for children until their parents are ready and able to ensure those needs are met.

This interaction provided by Roxanne Bradley will give you 8 steps to go through to prepare for the year. It will include getting organized as well as determining what your child needs and what you can do to make this a successful school year. This event will be held every third Thursday around the Denver-metro area. Refer to the meetup website for more details.
