Local Heroes
Andrew Wilson
It's easy to NOT get involved, but once you make the effort you realize
how fun it is and it becomes addictive. Helping the less fortunate
provides a tremendous amount of perspective to life.
Beth Fitzpatrick
TEENS, Inc.
TEENS, Inc., has extraordinary volunteer Beth
Fitzpatrick to thank for many years of cooking, cleaning, organizing,
recruiting, soliciting, and marketing, among other things.
Peggy Wrenn
I give time and money to non-profits in Boulder because it does good
and it feels good. Having grown up in Boulder County since 1954 when I
was three years old, I'm deeply grateful for my excellent public
schooling, rich community, and profound sense of "home." I get joy from
giving to my community.
Success Stories
Growing Gardens' ¡Cultiva! Program
Vicky Borregoyouth leader 2000
The Children's Peace Garden was an idea I came up with when I went to a youth conference in Boston. I saw the diversity of youth in the US trying hard to improve their communities.
The Carriage House
Warren Riggs
During a very difficult period in my life in which addiction and legal troubles seemed insurmountable obstacles, the Carriage House proved to be a steady foundation.

I have many fond memories of being a caregiver. At about thirteen years of age, I started a little neighborhood day care for my younger sister and some neighborhood children. By the time I was fourteen or fifteen, I became a candy-striper at a local hospital.
