Thank you, @GovofCO, for restoring funding for Colorado’s Nonprofit Out-of-School Time Grant Program!

This funding will ensure that Club kids and working families across the state have access to safe, affordable, and high-quality afterschool and summer programs this year.

A special thanks to all of the legislators who attended and support Boys & Girls Clubs: @Dylan_RobertsCO, @NickForCO, @SeanCamachoCO, @RepLorenaGarcia, @chadclifford, @MartinezforSoCo, and @CarterforCO.

Grateful to everyone who joined us for the 2026 CO Youth of the Year Breakfast to celebrate our Club kids! Proud to honor Speaker @McCluskieforCO as our Champion for Youth. Thanks to @ToriMasonTV, @CUofCO, @DenverMuseumNS, and all those who made the event possible!

Federal support for afterschool and summer programs is essential for youth success and working families in CO. With these funds, Boys & Clubs provide caring mentors, healthy meals, and safe spaces for thousands of kids.

Thank you for your leadership, @SenatorBennet!

After demanding answers on @EDSecMcMahon's funding freeze for after-school programs in Colorado, the administration has rightly reversed course and released already approved funds.

After-school programs are a lifeline for working families and I will continue to fight for the funding our public schools, community partners, and afterschool programs depend on.

We're so excited the Summer EBT bill was officially signed today by @GovofCO! This will help more than 300,000 Colorado kids get the food they need when school isn't in session. Thank you to bill sponsors and our partners at @hungerfreeco for their leadership on this effort.

We loved having @SenatorHick join a group of Club members from @BGCMetroDenver to discuss issues impacting youth in Colorado. Thank you for listening to the next generation of leaders!

[Senator John Hickenlooper @SenatorHick]

It was great to join members of Colorado’s Boys & Girls Club and young leaders from across the state to talk about the issues most important to them.

There’s so much we can learn from our youth, and we owe it to them to create a future worth fighting for.
