Continue the Legacy of Hope — Help Colorado’s Youth Find Their Hero Within

For 65 years, CBR Youth Connect has carried forward the proud legacy of the 
Colorado Boys Ranch Foundation — a legacy built on compassion and second chances. 
More than 17,000 youth across Colorado have found hope and gained resilience through our programs.

Last year, we launched one of our most meaningful Resilience Initiatives yet: 
the HERO-WITHIN Program — a celebration of youth who have faced adversity with courage.
We’ve witnessed powerful stories of transformation when youth discover confidence and purpose.

This year, thanks to generous donors like you, our Resilience Initiatives have expanded from one to three — multiplying our impact and reaching more Colorado youth than ever before.

💕 Your generosity makes this possible.

Each initiative is designed to reach youth at a different stage — but together, they create a powerful continuum of hope and support. 

• HERO-WITHIN celebrates thriving resilience through one-time special opportunity grants that help youth pursue growth, learning and joy — from horseback riding, to aviation lessons to music to sports.
• Bounce Back recognizes emerging resilience in youth taking steps towards healing and stability, in partnership with schools and community programs across Colorado.
• Human-Animal Connection fosters empathy and healing through positive youth-animal interactions, helping children build trust, confidence and emotional well-being.

Together, we’re not just helping children overcome their past — we’re investing in their futures. 
With your continued support, we can ensure that every Colorado child 
feels loved, valued, and empowered to dream big.

✨ Your gift transforms lives:
$50 helps two children receive a Bounce Back award.
$100 funds a day of camp or arts instruction.
$250 supports a special opportunity grant for a HERO-WITHIN recipient.
