Founded by Julissa Soto, Casa Inmigrante is building a network of resources and support to ensure immigrant communities have the tools, knowledge, and advocacy needed to succeed. We are looking for a grant writer who can help bring this vision to life by identifying funding opportunities and crafting compelling proposals that support our mission and expand our impact.

Help decide what days to assist Grow Local Colorado with a Garden for our 14th season. This season we will be helping at Benedict Fountain Park to help get this new garden going. https://maps.app.goo.gl/McjYWwRxtrx2buBD6

We typically volunteer at the planting in late May, cleanup in late September / early October, and once a month for harvesting / weeding in June, July, August, and September.

We recently recieved information about an opportunity to support Ukrainian English learners in a culture exchange

🥹 You know that feeling when you finish an ENGin session and think, "Wow, more people need to experience this"?
⠀
Well... here's your moment.😉
⠀
📋 We've got over 200 students on our waitlist right now — eager, motivated, and ready to have the kind of conversations you're already having every week. And we have a hunch that someone in your world would be perfect for this. That friend who's always saying "I wish I could do more." Your coworker who mentions volunteering every January. Your book club buddy who loves meeting people from different backgrounds.
⠀
Do you want to help us?
💠 Share this opportunity in your group chats
💠 Tag someone who'd be perfect for this
💠 Tell your ENGin story at your next family dinner/Zoom call/water cooler moment
⠀
Let's get these ~200 students matched. You in?💪

We're looking for new board support to strengthen our RPCV community!

Hi all!
This is Sam Temple, your current President. If you're curious and ready to get more involved, read on and email me at [email protected] to express interest.

Board President – Opening this Fall
After a fulfilling term, I’ll be stepping down and looking to fill the role by our December Holiday Gathering. We’re seeking a new leader to take the helm!

Key responsibilities:

Lead and manage the board (meetings every other month)
Oversee major events (e.g., summer picnic, holiday party) and membership engagement
Support financial health with the Treasurer and board
The President guides the vision—but it’s always a team effort!

Regional Representatives & Event Support - Open and flexible

Regional Representative
A few years ago we restructured the board and created “regional rep” board roles. These board members manage a region including all events and membership stewardship in a set region. We currently have active Regional Representatives in Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs.
If you live in a region not listed here and would like to explore a Regional Representative role, we would love to hear from you!
If you live in any of the listed regions and want to support events in your area, in a non-formal board capacity, we also want to hear from you! For example, we have been dreaming of bringing the Welcome Wagon back to Denver and could use some volunteer support there.
IT/Web/Marketing Help - Open and flexible

We’re looking for support in website management, social media, and database upkeep. Whether your help is ongoing or occasional, we’d love to have you involved.

How to Express Interest? Email [email protected] with:
1. The role you're interested in
2. Whether you want a full board role or to provide occasional support
3. A brief statement of your interest and availability
