It Takes a Village
Our name is based upon our principle that the consciousness of people of color can best be raised by including the community in identifying, educating, implementing, and evaluating services and programs that aim to improve our health and social outcomes.
It Takes Village programs and services are based upon theory, assessment, and, most importantly, the input and needs of the communities we serve. The effectiveness of each program greatly depends on the level of involvement of participants, and the trust the community has with our staff and organization. There is no charge for any of our programs or services.
Black Pride Colorado
Black Pride Colorado, a program through YouthSeen, was created to celebrate, liberate and engage our Black LGBTQIA2+ community by building resilience, honor and preserving our history and culture.
It is through our fellowship and gatherings that we provide aid, dismantle the oppressive ideals behind mental health and wellness, community engagement, and to showcase where we thrive and create in arts and culture.
YouthSeen, envisions a society where young people are empowered as individuals to access non-judgmental and unbiased treatment in every aspect of their lives. We encourage the creative creation of a community that celebrates everyone’s worth, diverse characteristics and dignity.
