Through the years we have continually sought to best meet the needs of our community, and have expanded our programs, service area, and mission to do so. Our Community-Based Mentoring Program was established as an intervention strategy for youth entering the juvenile justice system in Larimer County and has evolved to more of prevention-based approach to serve kids who are facing risk factors at an earlier stage. When it was clear that we should expand to have offices in Estes Park and Greeley, we did so.
