Volunteers of America Colorado

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there who help care for and guide us all, no matter the age! #HappyMothersDay #RememberYourMom #WeLoveMoms #VOAColorado

Recently, Volunteers of America Colorado hosted The Home Depot Foundation’s Veterans Affordable Housing Roundtable, bringing local stakeholders together to discuss the important topics of veterans and homelessness. It was nice to give back after being a The Home Depot Foundation grant recipient. Thank you The Home Depot Foundation for all you do to help veterans move from homeless to home. #veterans #housing #endveteranhomelessness #voacolorado #shinealightinyourcommunity

VOAC is looking for licensed Health Care Workers to work at one or two weeks of summer camp at Camp POSTCARD! Camp POSTCARD is a FREE overnight summer camp for incoming 5th and 6th grade students from the Denver/Aurora area who have demonstrated leadership skills and might otherwise not have the opportunity or resources to attend a residential summer camp. Throughout their week at camp, these youth will see leadership in action through their counselors, all of whom are affiliated with local law enforcement agencies. They'll build their own leadership skills through teambuilding activities, challenge courses, daily reflections, and more. All the while experiencing a week in the mountains at the YMCA Estes Park Center facilities. It's a wonderful program that we have been proud to offer since 2016! In order to hold camp, we need licensed health care workers to support our campers. This could be a licensed physician, a registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse, a licensed physician's assistant, a certified nursing aide or an individual who holds current certification in emergency medical services. Session 1: June 21-28 Session 2: July 19-26 If you are interested, please apply at https://buff.ly/3TSNWmf, or email Program Manager Sarah Shields at sshields@voacolorado.org. #shinealightinyourcommunity #camppostcard #|voacolorado #|lightinaction
