My dream for my community is to become more child and youth friendly.

A broad-based effort to establish Denver as the leading Child/Youth Friendly City (CYFC) in the nation, CYFC has grown from having three partners to having more than 100. The project is now focused on gathering 10,000 voices from people of every race, religion, age, gender, and sexual orientation and facilitating 100 conversations about what makes or would make Denver child/youth friendly. A CYFC youth leadership team will take this information and engage citizens in taking action on a shared vision for the city.

“The process of infusing youth voice in community decision making and creating opportunities for youth engagement across the city will create a more livable community for all people,” said Nancy.
