Sponsor Role Model/Mentors of CO

In my past 30 years of working with children and youth who have experienced extreme loss and abandonment, I have found that they have a tendency to focus more on the trauma they have gone through than the development of their gifts, talents, and determination to succeed in life. My goal, as the executive director and lead life coach of Role Model/Mentors of Colorado, is to help kids reset their focus on hope, self‐confidence, and community, and then challenge them to pass on their hope, wisdom, and inspiration to the next generation of Role Model/Mentors.

Through RMM, we introduce families to our core values: 1) Give your best effort, 2) Inspire others to give their best effort, 3) Work as a team under pressure). Then, we sharpen their leadership and lifeskills through our family club. And finally, we challenge them to be role  rodel/mentors to their peers, at their school, and in their communities.

In designing this program, I used my experience and education from the following:

* 26 years of youth and family ministry
* 5 years of case management with Weld County Prevention. (MYAT program)
* 5 years as a independent contractor with Weld County DHS

 We are looking for support to better care for families who have experienced loss and abandonment.
