Parent Advocacy Group

Join us as we explore the creation of a new Parent Advocacy Group from 10 am - noon on Sunday, July 14th at the Boulder Jewish Community Center (Boulder JCC), 6007 Oreg Ave, Boulder.  While no child care will be provided, this is a child-friendly meeting (we will have toys).

Growing Up Boulder (GUB) is Boulder's child- and youth-friendly city initiative.  Since the needs of children are often expressed through their parents, we would like to support Boulder's parents in advocating for their families' needs to make Boulder a TRULY child-friendly city.  This group will likely focus on issues of the built environment.
​
This first meeting is an opportunity for parents to:
  • brainstorm areas of greatest concern/interest/advocacy related to children and families, 
  • choose the first area(s) for focus, and 
  • determine how to engage additional parents and how to connect to existing resources and parent advocacy efforts.

Based on GUB's conversations with parents, issues parents might take on include: 
  • more outdoor play spaces with shade coverings, 
  • more indoor play spaces for inclement weather, and 
  • a child-friendly business recognition program (see Edmonton, Canada's example).

RSVP with the number of adults and children (and their ages), or ask questions, at: [email protected]

The front of the shirt shows that a city can be more friendly to children by offering opportunities for play, biking, and more.
