Youth present CFCI draft Youth Action Plan to City Council
As part of Boulder’s process towards becoming a Child Friendly City, five middle and high school students presented the youth-led draft “Youth Action Plan” to Boulder City Council on Thursday, May 15. Click here to learn more.
The way you presented—hearing how articulate you all were in describing this work—reinvigorates my faith in humanity, and more importantly, in the next generations. We're dealing with a lot of really tough challenges—some of our own making, some not—and it's hard to know how we're going to get through them. But seeing the work you're doing gives me faith that we're going to be just fine. |

Our Work in Boulder
amplifying all youth voices, centering those most affected by inequity
Our Work Beyond Boulder
sharing our model and lessons learned
|
Because Growing Up Boulder began at the University of Colorado, sharing knowledge is one of our goals. We draw inspiration from international, national, and local examples, and we test them out in the living laboratory of Boulder, CO. We offer our approaches, reflections and "lessons learned" through articles, books, interviews, coaching, and workshops. We hope you'll join us on this journey!
