Alpine Achievers Initiative

Juneteenth is a day of celebration, remembrance, and reflection. It reminds us that freedom delayed is freedom denied, and it calls us to honor the generations of Black Coloradans who have enriched our communities, our culture, and our state’s history. I’m proud to join Coloradans across the state to commemorate this important day which is a reminder of why we work hard to deliver a Colorado for all.

There will be an opening for ONE bedroom for lease from August through December with potential to extend. Please visit the link below to apply!

Three years in and we're just getting started. Serve Colorado has been part of the Youth Mental Health Corps from day one — and the impact is real. Young adults are building careers in behavioral health and changing what mental health support looks like for the 44,000+ community members they've served.

A huge thanks to all of our partners that have made this program possible every step of the way: Schultz Family Foundation, Colorado Community College System, Colorado Behavioral Health Administration, Gary Community Ventures, Alpine Achievers, City Year Denver, TeamUp, Trailhead Institute, and Colorado Youth for a Change!
