4. Educate Others

• Share your concerns and knowledge of Volunteers of America Colorado Branch programs with others.
• Many people might not realize how the decisions our officials make impact not only our own lives but the life of our community. They can also directly impact the men, women and children who are most vulnerable – and at times, not able to stand up and vote for themselves.

 

5. Support Our Organization

To make a lasting impact takes the work and coordination of many individuals.

• Get involved with our organization or volunteer directly at one of our programs so you can see our work in action and understand the importance of our advocacy efforts.
• You can also Give A Gift to help support our programs.
