Founded in 1988, Urban Peak is the only non-profit organization in Denver that provides a full convergence of services for youth ages 15 through 24 experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. Our goal is to help these youth overcome real-life challenges and become self-sufficient adults. Urban Peak provides overnight shelter support, a daytime drop-in center, street outreach, employment and education, and supportive housing. With the goal of providing the assistance and support they need to become self-sufficient or obtain the necessary services they need to exit a life on the streets. I became interested in helping aging out foster youth and decided to put my efforts into Urban Peak as they are already doing incredible work, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel on my own. I’m so happy I did. I am deeply honored to serve on the board of this vital organization, dedicated to creating a brighter future for our unhoused youth. Together, we can make a lasting impact and provide pathways to hope, stability and opportunity.
