Colorado Nonprofit Feature YouthZone was featured in the Colorado Nonprofit Association newsletter for July/August 2009. The article was titled "Youth Services:Filling the Gaps to Build Healthy Communities." The article talked about the importance youth service organizations make in young lives and communities. It quoted a poem written by a teen who was a victim of abuse in her home and wrote the poem to express the support and guidance she found from a counselor at YouthZone. The girl is now an architectural engineer and helping to start a nonprofit for medical needs in underserved populations.
"This poem is for you whose courage and strength is a model for me to mold to. Whose guidance and understanding helps me see things through. Whose friendship and caring I hold to be true. These traits to me were once new. But now these things that I see in you, can be found in me."
