The Colorado Department of Human Services is also sponsoring a foster care recruitment booth at Denver PrideFest on Sunday, June 28, 2026 on 16th Street in downtown Denver. Denver PrideFest that draws visitors from throughout the state of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. Since 1974, Denver Pride has created a space where the LGBTQ+ community, allies, families, and local businesses come together for a day of joy, celebration, and protest. With the move downtown, you can expect all the Pride classics you know and love like Latin Stage, The Gayborhood, and the youth and family area. PrideFest in Denver is not only a celebration, but it is also a fundraiser for The Center on Colfax, which provides services to the community.

Volunteers will be able to hand out their information and giveaways as well as have a conversation with community members about foster care. CDHS will provide signage at the event and a tri-fold informative brochure. Organizations can add a sticker with their contact information to the brochure or bring their own promotional items to distribute. During the event, we will have a sign up sheet where interested parties can sign up to get more information about foster care. Representatives from all organizations that attend will receive all the sign ups for the event.
