2026 Jacob Center Team Colorado Gives Fundraiser!

Our team at The Jacob Center offers trauma-responsive counseling, a range of youth services, and family support across Northern Colorado. We’re a passionate, scrappy, and admittedly playful crew, and our approach is practical, evidence-based, and built to foster connection, boost well-being, and support better mental health for everyone.

The need for this work hasn’t slowed down. If anything, it’s grown, and community support is what keeps our full range of services going.

When you support The Jacob Center, your gift directly funds:

• Emergency Assistance: food, clothing, shoes, hygiene items, and help with rent and utilities when families hit a crisis
• Direct Counseling Services with trained trauma-responsive therapists
• Youth Adventures and Experiences: rock climbing, paddleboarding, biking, art classes, fishing, and hiking
• Community Programs: animal volunteering, GED prep, and life skills training
• Sensory and Regulation Tools: weighted blankets, sensory swings, fidgets, and noise-canceling headphones
• Program Operations that keep all of this accessible

Why It Matters! Trauma affects brain development, emotional regulation, and a young person’s ability to trust others. The right support can interrupt challenging patterns. Research shows that trauma-responsive care, paired with stable relationships and skill-building activities, gives kids and families real tools to move forward.

In 2025, we served more than 350 people, spent over 11,000 hours directly supporting youth and families, and trained 150+ parents, caregivers, and professionals in TBRI®. We also drove 36,595 miles to break down transportation barriers. That’s like circling the earth about one and a half times! Many of the people we served got support they couldn’t otherwise have afforded.

Every gift, whether it’s $25 or $2,500, helps a young person or family get the help they need.

Support trauma-responsive care in Northern Colorado. Give to The Jacob Center on Colorado Gives Day!
