CYC works with young people across Colorado to transform ourselves, our communities, and the broader systems that shape our lives. Our program is rooted in healing, identity, leadership, and action. Through regional hubs, statewide retreats, wellness sessions, peer connection, and youth-led Theory of Social Change projects, members study the issues impacting their communities and build the skills to address them through organizing, advocacy, art, storytelling, and healing justice. We believe that when young people are supported in their own healing, connected to community, and given real tools to lead, they can help create a future where justice, wellbeing, and collective care are not just ideas, but everyday practices.
