Awareness Month Community Toolkit

Resources and Information to assist communities and agencies in planning for Colorado Homeless and Runaway Youth Awareness Month.

Each year, the Office of Homeless Youth Services, through the Advisory Committee on Homeless Youth, convenes a statewide planning team. In conjunction with national efforts, a theme is set, and statewide activities are planned. Local communities and organization may also choose to plan activities for local areas. This toolkit contains templates, logos, contact information and other details to assist in planning a local activity. Additional information and templates are posted closer to the awareness month each year.
