Jeffco CTC Key Leaders
Jefferson County Communities That Cares Coalition has, as Key Leaders of CTC,
the members of Jeffco Connections.
As such, the Jeffco CTC Key Leaders Board meets immediately following the Jeffco Connections' August and February meetings. Agendas and handouts for these meetings will be posted here. Additionally, Key Leaders are invited to our annual Youth Voices event in April. All Key leaders are also invited to attend any Jeffco CTC workgroup or community board meetings.
Jeffco Connections (JC) is the 1451 Collaborative Management Program (CMP) in Jefferson County and is a partnership of 22 family-serving agencies and local jurisdictions (PDF) with set policies, procedures and bylaws. Jeffco Connections gathers each month and meetings are open to the public. Find out more here and here.
The Communities That Care framework suggests a Key Leaders board consisting of community leaders who are able to make or influence policy and budgetary decisions in the community.

-Funding updates-
8:30-8:40 AM
Funded at $425,000 per year currently
The Jeffco CTC coalition members wrote, submitted, and received a grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health & the Environment for $300,000 per year for 5 years, having recently completed a 5 year grant cycle from the same organization.
We continue to maintain our federal Drug Free Communities Funding, which comes from the CDC, through reapplication annually.
We had a great "site visit" from CDC personnel whose main feedback was to share what we are doing more broadly.
Our coalition was featured on in the DFC Limelight!
The coalition is currently seeking additional funding resources to fund two initiatives:
Out for Safe Spaces (also see Trustable Adults, below)
Teen Spaces/ Teen Nights (see also Community Action with Teens, below)
