CAMPAIGN UPDATE: Combining this online campaign with mail-in contributions, we've currently raised $30,200! We're so close to our $40,000 goal - your support in this last week of the year WILL make the difference.

Healing doesn’t come from D.C. — it starts here.

Healing starts here — in our schools, in our homes, in our city. Because Denver’s youth can’t wait for Washington to act.

Across Denver, young people are navigating more than classes and homework — they’re carrying experiences of stress, isolation, and trauma. Project PAVE is there with them every day, providing school-based therapy, healthy-relationship education, and family advocacy that restore safety, health, and confidence.

Because healing isn’t only about counseling – it’s also about connection. It happens when young people learn what respect looks like in a relationship, when they find a trusted adult who listens, or when families begin to communicate in new, healthy ways. These small moments of care ripple outward, strengthen families at home and building the kinds of communities where young people thrive.

Every dollar you give keeps healing close to home.
Your donation supports local programs that reach more than 1,300 Denver youth each year. You’re not funding a system — you’re funding healing in all its forms: therapy, education, connection, and empowerment.

“Before PAVE, I didn’t realize I was in an abusive relationship. My therapist helped me see the red flags and gave me the confidence to set boundaries and leave. Now, I know what a healthy relationship looks like and how to stand up for myself. I finally feel safe and in control of my life.” -— Therapy client, Age 16

“I’ve learned that how I treat people and how I let them treat me both matter. I never thought about that before, but now I see how it can change everything.” — True Man Participant, Age 15

Healing can’t wait.
The need for healing in our schools keeps growing, and too many students are still waiting for help. Your support means they don’t have to.

Federal debates won’t fix what’s happening in our neighborhoods – but your generosity can. When you give to PAVE, you make healing possible right here at home.

Because every act of prevention is an act of protection – and every contribution helps ensure Denver’s youth, families, and communities have the care, connection, and future they deserve.

Give today. Because healing doesn’t come from D.C. – it starts here. And continues with you.
