Local Heroes
Lisa Tedesco
We have such a diversity of financial means in this community. It's
important to supplement programs for people who can't afford them. I'm
bothered by how many people don't have access to services and
activities. We also have such a need for loving childcare that doesn't
cost a fortune.
David Adams
Everyone benefits from volunteering. People think they're going to make
a difference in someone's life, but they don't realize how good
volunteer work is going to make them feel.
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.'
Success Stories

Plan de Salud del Valle, Inc., or Salud Family Health
Centers, was established in Fort Lupton in 1970 as a migrant health
center. Over the past 33 years Salud has grown to become one of the
largest community health center delivery systems in Colorado and the
Rocky Mountain Region.
The Acorn School
The Acorn School’s Preschool II class
The Acorn School’s Preschool II class has been working on the alphabet this year, and has come up with some very unique lessons for teaching certain letters, but none creative and heart-warming as the letters K and L.

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.
