Creating connections that inspire resilience
Continuing the Legacy of the Colorado Boys Ranch Foundation
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to help youth develop the resilience to thrive and become hopeful and productive citizens.
HOW WE DO IT
We create meaningful connections through community partnerships, offering research-based programs that help children, youth, families, and schools build resilience, develop skills, and overcome adversity.
Our HERO-WITHIN Program
HERO-WITHIN is an “award and special interest grant” program designed to honor and inspire youth facing adversity who are becoming remarkably resilient. Specialists in partnering schools and agencies nominate youth who are working hard to change their self-view; gaining control over their emotions and behavior; and improving school performance.
