Welcome to the 16th Annual Foothills United Way's Day of Caring
Day of Caring is one of the largest one-day volunteer efforts annually in
Boulder and Broomfield counties. Local volunteers are paired with nonprofits to
complete a variety of much needed projects. 2008 was a record-setting year
for Day of Caring, with more than 900 participants donating
nearly $73,000 worth of volunteer time on one day!
Get Involved. Any company, community
group, social group or individual interested in making a difference can
volunteer for Day of Caring. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
UNITE your organization. Day of
Caring volunteers provide thousands of hours of service and valuable skills to
agencies in our community, allowing those agencies to serve more clients more
efficiently.
For your business or organization, Day of Caring provides a simple, effective
and highly visible way to demonstrate strong corporate citizenship, community
leadership and a culture of philanthropy. It also provides great teambuilding
opportunities for employee groups - something outside the office to collaborate
on and feel good about.
Sign up. Choose a project. Make a difference. Day
of Caring volunteers can take part in a wide variety of projects. Some may
deliver meals to homebound persons, or help glean crops that will be used to
provide fresh vegetables to those in need of food. Some may help organize files
in a health clinic or repair and repaint a building that provides emergency
shelter. From construction to landscaping, from human service to arts and
crafts, there is something for every volunteer - something that will make a
lasting impact on many lives.

Blue Sky Bridge, Child And Family Advocacy Program
The mission of Blue Sky Bridge, Boulder County’s Child and Family Advocacy Center is to support children and families throughout the response to child abuse allegations, reduce trauma and increase the effectiveness of investigations.

Since opening our doors, Blue Sky Bridge has helped more than 5,000 children and families cope with the pain of child abuse.
History:
Blue Sky Bridge was incorporated after years of work by the Boulder County Childhood Sexual Abuse Task Force and the Child Advocacy Center Committee. The Task Force was comprised of representatives of the agencies mandated to respond to reports of child abuse and neglect, and focused on addressing identified system and service delivery problems. The agency attained its 501(c)(3) status in 1995 and opened a facility in Niwot in 1996. Within a few years, the organization began doing business under the name Blue Sky Bridge.
The agency moved to Boulder in 2001, where we are now more centrally located to accommodate the needs of all Boulder County municipalities. In 2005, Blue Sky Bridge was awarded full accreditation by the National Children’s Alliance (NCA), which ensures that we operate according to the best practices of Children’s Advocacy Centers across the country.
