The City and County of Denver has begun the journey toward becoming a UNICEF Child Friendly City. Established in 1996, UNICEF's Child Friendly Cities Initiative (CFCI) provides a framework based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, guiding cities in creating safer, more just, equitable, inclusive, and child-responsive communities. Out-of-School (OST) time programs are an essential part of the equation!

This Coffee and (Community) Conversation will be facilitated by two staff members from the Office of Children’s Affairs who will lead a discussion on what is working well in our city and what areas need improvement from the critical OST lens. The plan will truly be community driven and we need your voice, thoughts and perspective. Thank you in advance for helping us develop the key priorities that centers youth and families in Denver.
