​WEST DENVER RENAISSANCE COLLABORATIVE

"'Tell Us" Campaign Begins

This week, at the first "Housing and Financial Resources Fair" in West Denver, the West Denver Renaissance Collaborative team not only got to further introduce themselves to community members and organizations in attendance but also was able to officially kick start the first question in our "Tell Us" Campaign--a fun, community-based initiative meant to source from local residents and businesses on topics about their neighborhood. This week, the question was focused on "what I love most about my neighborhood" and the responses were all amazing. The campaign also intends to seek out voices that may not as commonly be heard by providing the "Tell Us" materials in multiple languages.

​Our website is live!

​It's official! We're finally online--hello world!
​

While we've been quietly meeting with local partners and community organizations for the past few months, we've taken our time in launching our "digital" presence. Why? Because we didn't want to do "the same old thing" and simply have a website that promotes a one-way exchange of content and ideas. We aspire to create a dialogue, and we want it to include YOU! If you're interested in getting involved, check out our "Tell Us" campaign and share your stories, ideas, and insights with us.

Be sure to check back for updates on events, community resources, deadlines, and initiatives. The next big event announcement will be about our first area-wide "Listening Session"--where we're coming to the community to hear what matters to you! Stay tuned!

    What's New

    As a West Denver focused initiative, we want to highlight some of the great things happening in the area as well as connect local organizations with potential resources. ​Be sure to check in periodically for useful tips, grant deadlines, and upcoming events!
