Our goal: $80,000
Come join us as we celebrate 30 years of serving youth in our community! The annual Forge Evolution luncheon offers a chance to reflect on our past success and discuss our goals for the future, as well as educate those who may not know about our mission and vision (all while enjoying a complimentary meal in a great atmosphere).
The Forge Evolution program targets youth involved in early trauma or at-risk behaviors like abandonment of a parent, poverty, neglect, abuse, academic struggles, etc., with an understanding these incidents can occur at any point in a youth or child’s life. Prior to the establishment of Forge Evolution, the Teen Court programming delivered this in the “response” or “transition” stage, after a crime occurred. These provisions of legal services and alternative to the traditional court system will continue, but the new programming opens new pathways. We started a FREE weekly drop in program for youth in our community offering various topics each week. Some of our partners are The Space Foundation, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Bemis Art School etc. It is a safe space for them and we make sure they have dinner before going home.
We will continue to offer our Teen Court program, helping kids aged 10-19 overcome misdemeanor offenses that landed them in the judicial system.
