A world where every child can dream
MISSION & VISION
MISSION: Foster social justice, health and gender equity through culturally relevant physical, mental and social wellness programs.
VISION: We envision a world where gender, race, ethnicity, disability, education, income, origin and sexual orientation are no longer predictors of life and health outcomes.
STORY: Founded in 2017, ViVe advances equity by addressing systemic barriers faced by low-income, racially, and ethnically diverse communities in Denver and surrounding cities. Primarily serving underserved Latino migrants and other marginalized communities, ViVe provides programs that foster health equity through culturally relevant wellness activities.
Through partnerships with local organizations and donations secured through grants and private funding, ViVe Wellness promotes physical and mental health, leadership, and social well-being to children and adults across Denver and surrounding cities.
5800 children & their families learned to swim. Every year ViVe teaches over 500 kids & their families how to swim through our After School & Learn to Swim programs.
Over 60% of Latino & African American children do not know how to swim, increasing the drowning risk in our community.
FACT:
OUR IMPACT:
4900 children enrolled in After School and outdoor recreation programs. Movement, social emotional and wellness & Youth Workforce development.
Minority children lack the access & opportunity of outdoor nature activities as well as physical wellness. These are essential to the mental health, cognitive development & the physical, social & emotional well-being of children.
