Serving Kids Clothing Program: Serving Kids is a program sponsored by the Jeffco Public Schools' employee associations, the Jeffco PTA, the Jeffco Credit Union, and The Jefferson Foundation, working together to make new and near new clothing items available to Jefferson County Public School students in need. To receive these services, a student must be referred by a Jefferson County School District employee. The employee fills out the clothing request form and faxes it to the Serving Kids Program for the order to be filled. For questions regarding the program, call the SK voice mail number at (303) 982-2225. The fax number is (303) 278-2343. Click here for a copy of the brochure to learn more about the program.

Helping Kids Thrive: JCAA is a cosponsor of the Helping Kids Thrive Program, started in 1990 by a coalition of community organizations who were concerned about the high incidence of youth suicide in Jefferson County and the prevalence of other destructive behaviors, such as drug/alcohol abuse and youth violence. Helping Kids Thrive is an annual series of free parenting workshops. The purpose of the workshops is to provide hands-on, practical information that parents and other adults can use to help children grow in positive ways. Participants gain insight as to why life is easier for some kids and not for others, why some kids involve themselves in dangerous activities and others avoid them, why some ‘beat the odds’ and others don't.
