And, while it is most visible in downtown Denver, it has become a regional issue. Despite various policy solutions, from managing day-to-day needs of people experiencing homelessness to long-term prevention efforts, no one solution is adequate to solve this complex issue. Camping bans have been rife with controversy and push people experiencing homelessness around the metro area. "Housing First" approaches have had some success but cannot solve the problem alone. We'll look beyond camping bans to talk about a wide array of policies and programs being tested and considered around the region. Panelists: Cathy Alderman, JD, MSPH Vice President of Communications and Public Policy, Colorado Coalition for the Homeless Mark Deven City Manager, City of Arvada Britta Fisher Chief Housing Officer, City and County of Denver Moderator: Lisa VanRaemdonck Executive Director, CU Denver School of Public Affairs Institute When: 7:30-9 a.m. Friday, September 6, 2019 Where: Terrace Room (2nd floor), 1380 Lawrence Street, Denver (map) Admission: Free, but space is limited! Breakfast will be served. This event is open to the public. Please forward this invitation to anyone you feel might be interested.

The GOTR program combines training for a 5k with an interactive curriculum targeting the promotion of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution. GOTR creates a psychologically safe environment for girls to learn about themselves, connect with others, and contribute to the community. Focus on competition and ability in physical activity contexts is often a barrier for participation for girls. Girls report more enjoyment, satisfaction and positive relationships with others in climates focused on improvement, skill mastery, effort, and peer support. Each year, GOTR of the Rockies serves over 5,500 girls at 250 schools along the Front Range. Over 60% of our participants are at-risk and are in need of scholarships. We are able to meet these needs through grants, sponsors, donors, and fundraising events.

As community partners, we all need to work together to create awareness of safety issues and take actions that promote a safer environment around buses, trains, tracks, and crossings. With eight light rail and three commuter rail lines, we’re experiencing an alarming number of near misses from people not paying attention or engaging in risky behavior that can result in serious injury or even death. We invite you to join us in observing the next Rail Safety Week, September 22-28, 2019. Together, we can save families and communities from enduring these heartbreaking tragedies.

He gathered 16 accomplished Colorado artists to depict how climate change is affecting our lives and environment both locally and globally. The objective of this art exhibition is to engage people on the subject of climate change by creating art that draws them into the subject visually and emotionally; connecting them to real life experiences and scientific understandings about what is going on today. This is not a typical art exhibition, but an emotionally impactful experience and learning opportunity.
