Many organizations exist that are meant to help our
youth. Concerned Parents of Pueblo (CPP) is one such organization. CPP
provides a community oriented youth program. Young people are given
opportunities to assist the community in a structured environment. Graffiti
removal, senior yard care, and community events are some of the programs
offered. These programs provide an opportunity for young people to get involved
in civic activities in the form of volunteerism. Concerned Parents of Pueblo is a private,
community-based nonprofit organization and its mission is to foster a
cooperative community by encouraging the positive development of productive,
civic-minded youth and families. The mission focuses on youths and teaches life
skills on how to deal with everyday problems. It also promotes more parent
involvment with their children. This is accomplished through its
"Youth Incentive
Program."
Concerned Parents of Pueblo has a strong
collaboration of parents, volunteers, businesses, local and state government
agencies, and foundations involved in the Youth Incentive Program. In fact,
many organizations collaborate with Concerned Parent's Community Graffiti
Removal Program, Senior Support Program, Youth Issues Workshops, Incentive to
Stay in School, Community Volunteer Service, and Community Pride Clean-Ups.
Some of Concerned Parents annual projects consist of Rake Up Pueblo, a
collaborative effort with the Senior Resource Development Agency and its
Neighborhood Holiday Celebrations that take place in Pueblo's older
neighborhoods. Concerned Parents of Pueblo is very important to the
community. Our programs offer educational opportunities as well as volunteer
activities that enable our youth and families to learn and prosper together.
During 2003 alone, the participants of the Youth incentive Program completed
over 44,000 hours of volunteer work. These hours were added to the 260,000
hours of volunteer work completed since the inception of Concerned Parents in
1992. The Pueblo community has benefited from
these programs in addition to our participants and their families. Through the
developmenmt of leadership, trade and employment skills, together with positive
role models from families, CPP will continue to impact the youth of this area
and provide support to our community well into this new
millennium.
