Who We Are
About Us
Mission
A Precious Child provides children in need with opportunities and resources to empower them to achieve their full potential.
Vision
A Precious Child envisions a future where every child grows up to be a secure, self-reliant, contributing member of their community.
What We Do
How We Achieve Our Mission
A Precious Child assists children and families facing difficult life challenges such as abuse and neglect, crisis situations, and poverty.
We work with more than 300 Agency Partners throughout eight Denver Metro counties including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, and Weld to identify children and families in the most need of our services.
A Precious Child provides disadvantaged children with “Cradle to Career“ support to break the cycle of poverty by reducing socioeconomic inequalities, connecting them with needed resources, services, opportunities, and educational support.
Our work is done through our Empowerment Resource Center where clients receive basic essential goods and our Family Service Advocates provide wrap-around support to disadvantaged children and families, connecting them with needed resources, services, support, and educational opportunities.
Through our four Cradle to Career Initiatives, A Precious Child bridges the gap in a child’s education and unmet needs so every child may become a secure, self-reliant, contributing member of the community.
Cradle To Career Initiatives
Family Stability
The Empowerment Resource Center provides basic essentials such as clothing, coats, shoes, household goods, and hygiene items to families in need to help bridge the income gap so they can spend their limited resources on living expenses. Our Family Service Advocates provide resource navigation to empower children and families on their path to self-sufficiency.
Academic Success
Edussentials provides educational support, such as computers, calculators, tutoring, and incentives to remove barriers to school attendance and improve educational outcomes for economically disadvantaged students.
Fill A Backpack provides backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies to children in need to maximize their academic potential.
Social and Emotional Well-Being
giveARTS provides support for arts program costs associated with lessons, participation fees, instruments, and art supplies to children in need, giving them the opportunity to participate in activities that help them learn new skills and express themselves.
giveSPORTS provides new and gently-used sports equipment along with support for sports program costs associated with registration, uniform, camp, and participation fees to children in need, giving them the opportunity to participate in activities that help them feel a sense of normalcy alongside their peers.
Precious Gift provides gifts to children who would otherwise go without during monumental times in their lives such as birthdays and during the holiday seasons.
Workforce Development
Precious Pathways is dedicated to equipping young individuals, ages 15-24, with relevant experience to prepare them for the workforce. Our holistic approach includes training in soft skills, practical abilities and industry knowledge.
