URBAN PEAK IGNITES THE POTENTIAL IN YOUTH to exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives. The steadfast support of our sponsors can make it possible to achieve our vision: All Colorado youth have safe housing, supportive relationships, and the opportunity for self-sufficiency and success.
We are grateful for your support. Like you, we believe that ending youth homelessness changes trajectories, saves lives, and creates lasting community impact. Thank you for being the SPARK that ignites the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR URBAN PEAK’S GALA FUNDRAISER, the Urban Nights Sneaker Ball – a celebration of fashion, music and philanthropy supporting our work to provide a full continuum of services for youth experiencing homelessness ages 12 to 24. Join us in celebrating our two Urban Legends, John Farnam and Paul Heitzenrater II, for their continued dedication to serving our community’s most vulnerable.
