9 months. Dozens of leaders. One shared mission: reimagining early childhood systems across Colorado. 🏔️

Our Nurse Consultant at IIK, Alex Carmitchel, was selected earlier this year to join this program, which brings together leaders committed to strengthening and reimagining early childhood systems across Colorado.

Her recent retreat in Granby included conversations on policy and advocacy, community engagement, storytelling, and strengthening data and evaluation systems which are all in service of better outcomes for kids and families statewide!

Stay tuned as she continues through the program! 💚

Happy National Nonprofit Day! 💙

For the past 28 years, Invest in Kids has partnered with researchers, state leaders, and local communities to bring evidence-based programs like Nurse-Family Partnership® and Child First® directly to Colorado families. Programs that center relationships. That build on what families already do well. That adapt to real needs instead of one-size-fits-all solutions.

Today, of all days, we're asking you to be part of it. Whether it's a donation, a share, or just learning more, every action adds up to a stronger start for Colorado kids.

We are so proud to share that Invest in Kids was awarded a $10,000 grant from BOK Financial through their Colorado "Guide to Giving" contest! 🎉

Our IIK Finance Committee member, Brooks Pearson, nominated our organization for the contest, giving BOK Financial employees the chance to learn about our work and vote for the causes that resonated most with them. IIK received the most votes in Colorado and ranked among the highest-voted organizations company-wide.

We are grateful to Brooks for being such a dedicated advocate for IIK, and to BOK Financial for investing in the families we serve. Thank you for this generous gift! 👏

In June, we hosted our Summer Children's Museum Celebration, honoring families who completed our Incredible Years® and iiP Parent group classes. 🎉

We had 180 people present, 62 families, including 97 children and our amazing facilitators. This was a recognition of the hard work, vulnerability, and growth each parent brought to their learning journey and a chance to congratulate each family for their commitment and effort.

To wrap up the National Home Visiting Week we wanted to give a shoutout to two more home visitors that were nominated for the Home Visitor of the Year, Jenny and Michelle!

⭐ Jenny exemplifies the very best of Nurse-Family Partnership® with Adams County Health Department, through her unwavering commitment to families.
She excels at connecting families to critical community resources, including healthcare, mental health support, education, housing, financial assistance, and social services.

A mother that works with Jenny mentioned, "Frankly, I would be lost without the program, and I hope other mothers can benefit from Jenny too. Just knowing the resources and having someone like Jenny has your back is such a great help.

⭐ Michelle is an exceptional nurse with Montrose County’s Nurse-Family Partnership® team. In just a year and a half, Michelle has made an impact on her clients, her colleagues, and the communities she serves.

Michelle’s averaged 812 miles per month traveled across Western Colorado, often in challenging conditions that include snow, ice, and mountain passes during the winter months. Michelle’s willingness to navigate these conditions reflects a level of dedication to her clients and her team.

Families describe Michelle as a source of confidence and emotional safety. One mother wrote, “She has truly been such a kind soul and an absolute angel in mine and my baby’s life. She listens, reassures, and genuinely cares. Her visits have helped me grow into a more confident mom.”

Thank you Jenny and Michelle for empowering parents in Colorado as they navigate being first time parents!
