This spring was extra special for Urban Peak as we celebrated not one, but TWO prom nights highlighting inclusivity! The first of these fabulous proms was a fundraiser put on by our partners at Queer Prom Denver, with half of all proceeds going to Urban Peak programs.

Urban Peak is grateful to work with amazing partners across our community, and there are few as passionate as John Farnam, the managing director of the Morgridge Family Foundation.

Beyond therapy, what are other ways we support youths' mental health? One popular activity involves cuddling with a furry friend. Urban Peak has partnered up with Denver Pet Partners (DPP) and its volunteers (both human and canine), to bring the short-term joy and long-term benefits of emotional support animals to youth in our spaces.

Thankfully, with the completion of The Mothership this summer, we will finally be able to expand our shelter services to include all the youth we serve, up to their 25th birthday!
