Denver Kids, Inc.

We are excited to announce that we have changed the title of one of our program roles from "Educational SEL Counselor" to "Denver Kids Advisor" to better reflect the comprehensive support we provide. Why the change? - Denver Kids Advisors offer personalized academic, social-emotional, and future planning support. - The new title helps clarify our role and better communicates the unique support we offer while also reinforcing our strong partnership with Denver Public Schools and the community. This change will help us continue to empower our students to shape their lives, complete high school, and pursue postsecondary options. Thank you for your support!

May is a big month with so many Denver Kids students achieving graduation milestones. We always strive to ensure our students feel celebrated for these big accomplishments. One way we do this is through our annual Senior Celebration event. This year's celebration was one for the books, bringing together students, families, and staff to honor our graduating seniors. Held at the Carla Madison Rec Center Rooftop, the event was filled with graduation cap decorating, a photo booth, games, laughter, delicious food, and plenty of memorable moments.
