I'm glad you are applying for this awesome part-time job - you're going to love it! I noticed today (I know a little late... if I had another set of eyes this wouldn't have happened, thus we are hiring) that the email address to apply is wrong. 

Please send your application to: info@youth-roots.org with the subject line "YouthRoots Program and Office Assistant Job Posting"

My name is Abbie Zislis, I’m a sophomore at Cherry Creek High School, and I want to change the world.

The idea of “changing the world” can be daunting. Where does one even begin? Overwhelming and seemingly unapproachable—this is the mindset that many apply to stimulating change. In fact, it wasn’t until I joined YouthRoots that I realized that changing the world isn’t quite as scary as I’d initially presumed.

Due to our Youth Roots Retreat over Nov 12-13, at Estes Park, I feel even more empowered as a youth. We went through lessons that helped me rethink how I can manage things, when moving forward in the philanthropy world. The Needs Assessment hit me the most. 

Hey Denver Nonprofit world: We just announced this year's Funding Prirorities! 

My name is Tony Yin and I am a senior at Cherry Creek High School. As a returning member from last year’s inaugural youth board, I am really excited to be a part of YouthRoots again this year. I had a fantastic time last year learning about leadership, learning about myself, and going out into the real world and actually making a difference. 

And here is a REALLY GREAT resource that YouthRoots uses! I encourage you to read it and learn about the needs and issues facing our community: The Colorado Children's Campaign and KIDS COUNT in Colorado! 

It's easy to read, lots of graphs and wonderfully done! (They didn't pay me to say this ;)   )

Now it's even easier to apply to YouthRoots! You must first "register to apply" and then you can complete the online application!

You can even have your recommenders fill out their letter of recommendation for you online! Click here: www.youth-roots.org/recommendation-letter

Yes, that's right! We are cruising into the 21st century folks! Soon you will be able to apply online! What a concept... 

More Information Coming Soon so stay tuned! 

The application deadline has extended so that we can get a great mix of personalities, backgrounds, and hair color!
