The Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver has been helping kids from tough neighborhoods in Denver and Aurora stay out of trouble, stay in school and succeed in life. The organization owns and operates six safe neighborhood branches where kids can spend time after school and during the summer. Not just after-school hangouts, the clubs are places where young people come to learn, do homework, develop social skills, express themselves creatively and participate in sports. Tina Martinez |

Girl
Scouts-Wagon Wheel Council in Colorado Springs received a Statewide
Partnership Grant from Assets for Colorado Youth to promote positive youth
development. In collaboration with the other four councils in Colorado,
Girl Scouts was chosen for its viable system-wide strategy to improve the
lives of youth. The councils were so successful in infusing the 40 Developmental
Assets into their work with youth and families that they were honored in
2001 as Outstanding Asset Builders for the State of Colorado. Girl Scouts-Wagon
Wheel Council initiated the collaboration of the councils and encouraged
ABC Bakery, which makes Girl Scout cookies, to promote the 40 Assets in
the next nationwide Cookie Sale Activity.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's pre-eminent organization dedicated solely to girls — all girls — where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world. In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls develop qualities that will serve them all their lives, like leadership, strong values, social conscience and conviction about their own potential and self-worth.

Springs Assets for Youth (CSAY) is a non-profit, educational outreach
organization focused on positive youth development and community mobilization.
CSAY is part of a nationwide movement, currently in 44 states, that is helping
communities build assets for youth. Colorado Springs has been at the forefront
of the movement thanks to early and strong local support as well as involvement
in a 3-year longitudinal study, one of only two such sites in the country.
CSAY works in partnership at the state level with Assets for Colorado Youth
and at the national level with Search Institute, Minneapolis, MN.
The CSAY mission is to engage individuals and groups in our community to develop assets with and through our children and youth so they grow into responsible, caring, creative adults.
