Duck in Arow Human Services Incorporated

In 2015, Ducks in a Row Human Services Inc. (previously known as Ducks In a Row Public Relations and Event Planning) was developed  to assist Black owned businesses and individuals in far Northeast Denver (specifically Montbello) to obtain economic mobility by doing business plans, resumes and cover letters at a discounted rate and to engage in quantitative and qualitative health and human services research projects within BIPOC communities.

 Since that time Ducks in A Row has assisted over 200 Black people with launching their businesses or obtaining the employment opportunity they were seeking. In addition, Ducks in a Row Human Services Inc. has worked with such notable clients as the Colorado Public Health Association, CU Anschutz, The Conflict Center, Teach For America Colorado, Denver Public Schools, Colorado Health Network, Building Bridges, the City of Brighton, Colorado, Vicente Sederberg LLP, and Womxn’s March Denver to name a few.  We have led projects to address economic mobility and the social determinants of health including strategic planning, facilitation, mediation, professional development, DEI training, qualitative and quantitative research and community assessments. 

One of three nonprofit organizations highlighted at the City and County of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and the Denver African American Commission’s 2025 Black History Month celebration.  In addition, one of sixty Black led organizations/individuals which received the 2025 Black History Month leadership proclamation from City and County of Denver City Councilwoman Shontel Lewis and City Councilman Darrell Watson.   

Our goals are to:

1. Reduce health disparities by addressing the multiple social determinants of health, thus resulting in outcomes which contribute to health equity.

2. Increase opportunities for economic mobility for economically disadvantaged individuals and small businesses.

3. Provide opportunities to be holistically healthy which includes education about and access to healthier food options, mental health support and fitness activities.

4. Bridge the gap between community members of color and their local and federal government offices in order to advance advocacy and justice with communities of color.
