Colorado Young Leaders + SE2

Trusted partners like you help SE2 champion youth voices to drive positive change for the next generations.

Just as we collaborate with you to promote important causes, we partner with youth from across the state through our youth council and hire youth advisors, who help guide our initiatives. 

Colorado Young Leaders shares our deep commitment to youth leadership and empowerment, which is why this year we're proud to match your donations -- up to $5,000 in total match -- to support their mission of inspiring youth to choose action, own their vision, and elevate themselves and those around them to affect change.

I volunteer on Colorado Young Leaders' Board of Directors. My reasons are personal. 

I didn't have an adult mentor who understood what I was going through as a gay teen in a conservative community. I didn't have anyone to help me foster and channel my power, to explore the issues that mattered to me, or to show me that LGBTQ+ young people's voices were valid and needed in our world. 

Colorado Young Leaders believes young people possess unlimited talents and possibilities and that, to make meaningful change, we need youth voices at the table. 

Colorado Young Leaders helps young people of all backgrounds explore and affect change on the issues that matter to them by connecting them to people and organizations that are leading on these issues. And we help young people channel their voice to make an impact by developing their leadership skills.

Along with my business partners Susan Morrisey and Eric Anderson, I invite you and our other partners who share our passion for youth engagement to join us this Colorado Gives Day in supporting Colorado Young Leaders.
