Digital and Printed Map Sponsorship Opportunities
Growing Up Boulder (GUB), Boulder’s non-profit child- and youth-friendly city initiative, produced the nation’s first printed, bilingual child-friendly city map in Spring 2019. Ten thousand copies were distributed to Boulder Valley School District elementary and preschool children and also made available to the public in May 2019; all 10,000 copies were gone by July 2019! In response to high demand, the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau printed 10,000 additional maps in September 2019. The digital version of the map is now available, and the 2020 printed version of the map will be printed in spring 2020.

“My family visited Thorne Nature's Sombrero Marsh Environmental Center for the first time this weekend because my daughter found it on the map and suggested it as a family activity."

"My 1st grade kid came out of school yesterday and was so excited to show me her child friendly map, ‘It’s a map for kids!!’ she told me. On the last day of school, this is what she specifically wanted to show me. It was a very nice moment. Thanks!"
