We’re honored to be featured by CBS Colorado for our Mental Wellness Program Supervision & Workforce Development Initiative and the work we’re doing to help address Colorado’s mental health workforce shortage. 💙

By supporting aspiring mental health professionals with affordable supervision and mentorship, we’re helping build a stronger, more connected community of care.

💡 Nearly 120,000 older Coloradans live alone, and 1 in 4 struggle with loneliness.

Spark’s Senior Companion Program powered by AmeriCorps Seniors pairs older adults with consistent, relationship-based support so they can stay connected, cared for, and independent.

Please donate today to keep this support going!
Every $50 raised fuels a week of safe rides for older adults.
