What does belonging actually look like? How do you know when people feel it?

It's when someone knows your name when you walk through the door.

When your child spots a friend from last month and runs over to play.

A conversation turns into a coffee invitation. Caregivers swap numbers. You leave knowing there’s someone you can call who’s been through it, too.

You can say, “It’s been a hard week,” without having to explain everything.

These are the connections our Ambassador Communities help make possible for foster and kinship families. A monthly gathering can become the beginning of a friendship, a source of support, something children look forward to.

We’re astounded by the growth since spring! Through our partnership with Be the Source, 18 Ambassadors now lead 18 Ambassador Communities across 16 of Colorado’s 23 judicial districts.

And what excites us most? More families having someone to call. Someone to sit beside. Someone who is glad they came.

As Kinship Care Month comes to a close, we want to recognize the people who step in and step up.

Grandparents. Aunts and uncles. Siblings. Family friends. Trusted adults.

Kinship caregivers help children hold onto relationships, traditions, community, identity—and that all-important sense of belonging.

To the kinship families in the Cobbled Streets community and beyond: we see you, we celebrate you, and we’re grateful for you. ❤️

What exactly is kinship care?

It’s when a child who can’t safely live with their parents is cared for by someone they already know—a grandparent, aunt or uncle, adult sibling, family friend, neighbor or another trusted person.

And it matters.

Kinship care can help children hold onto something incredibly important during a time of enormous change: connection. Connection to people they know. To family. To culture. To community. To a sense of belonging.

About 2.5 million children in the U.S. are growing up in kinship families.

This , we celebrate the people who step up for children and recognize that those caregivers need community and support, too.❤️

Foster care is complicated and comes with many misconceptions.

Some are harmful.
Some are deeply unfair.
Some overlook what children have lived through.
And some are so common, we barely question them.

We’re calling out a few — because assumptions like these deserve to be challenged.

What misconception do you wish more people understood? 👇

“Even just this little, little thing is a lot for us.”

The “little thing” is a 30-minute Spanish lesson each week.

But for one two-year-old in foster care, it means so much more.

Her biological mom speaks only Spanish. Her caregivers wanted to give her early exposure to the language in hopes that hearing those familiar words might someday help visits with mom feel a little more comfortable. A little more connected. A little more like home.

When their funding request was denied elsewhere, Cobbled Streets said yes.

Because sometimes an experience isn’t just about learning a new skill.

Sometimes it’s really about building a bridge and protecting a connection.❤️

This summer has given us so many moments worth remembering.❤️

Kids found adventure and belonging at Camp Roots + Wings. Families filled the Denver Zoo with laughter at Night of Wonder. One young person turned a service project into 1,000+ opportunities to play. And throughout our community, remarkable leaders, advocates, and supporters gave us plenty to celebrate.

Our August newsletter is here, and it’s full of the stories behind those moments—the connections, generosity, and joy that keep reminding us what’s possible when a community shows up for children and families.

Still glowing. ✨

What an incredible Night of Wonder at the Denver Zoo. To every family, volunteer, face painter, resource partner, and friend who showed up with so much heart — even in the 100+-degree heat — thank you.

You made the night joyful, welcoming, unforgettable, and oh so special.

More photos and stories are coming soon, but for now we are just feeling so grateful for this beautiful community.❤️
