Local Heroes
Heather and Charles Southwick
Many volunteers started as teenagers. It's become part of their lives.
They continue with it because of the satisfaction they get from it. It
takes courage to step out and say, 'I'd like to help.'

Bal Swan Children's Center
The Bal Swan
Children's Center serves children birth to kindergarten in an inclusive
classroom setting for the Boulder, Broomfield and Adams County region.
We would like to share with you about a wonderful volunteer that has
supported the Center with forty years of continues service.
Annie Thayer
I feel one of our purposes in life is to help other people and to give
back in any way that we can. I give to causes I feel will make a
difference. I am a member of several environmental organizations and I
am sponsoring a child in Ethiopia. My income is at a minimum right now
but I try to give as often as possible.
Success Stories
Music to Our Ears!
Submitted by cogadmin on Thu, 04/30/2009 - 11:07.Sounds from flutes, violins, mandolins, pianos, electric guitars, and singers floated out into the hallway from behind different practice room doors. Teachers snapped their fingers to set the beat and could be heard saying, "OK, let's take it again from here." Backpacks were piled on top of the lobby couches, and above and around the sound of busy feet could be heard all over the building. The feel was distinctly "kid," and the time was after-school music lessons at Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts.
Affordable Housing Alliance
In 1994, Boulder Housing Partners joined with
Affordable Housing Alliance to develop the award winning Poplar Gardens
in North Boulder. Poplar Gardens is a small community of single-family
homes, surrounding a common green.

Services has truly been a Godsend to our family. When we called them,
they invited us to an orientation class and sent out information with a
list of suggested books to read. Later, when our baby was placed with
us, our counselor was as excited as we were!
