Convivir Colorado needs your support! Together, we can ensure immigrant youth don’t just survive — they lead, they inspire, and they thrive.
Colorado is home to vibrant immigrant communities where nearly 1 in 1
0 Coloradans were born outside the U.S. These youth bring strength, resilience, and culture. Yet too often they face barriers: language differences, mental health challenges, financial instability, and inequitable access to education.
That’s where Convivir comes in. We create spaces where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead with pride in their identities. Through storytelling, art, mentorship, and community-building, we help young people embrace who they are and grow into leaders who shape their families, schools, and communities.
