BOLD Youth Program
Southwest Region (Denver, CO) has worked with the BOLD Youth Program, a Colorado based non-profit organization. In its third year of operation, BOLD also known as "Building on Life's Disappointments", works with youth and young adults from all around the United States. Most recently, BOLD has hosted young participants from the Hurricane Katrina area and from the Platte Canyon/Bailey, CO region. These participants were impacted by their local man-made and natural disasters. Through their connection with the BOLD Youth program, they found ways to overcome and resolve their lives through development of character and leadership. In addition to a small monetary contribution, the Southwest Region became involved by organizing a donation of new and used sports equipment and attire that BOLD Youth distributes for those programs. Learn more about the organization at www.boldyouth.org.
