January Coffee and Conversation Networking Event: Let’s Connect!
Building community and deepening relationships is a priority for the DAA in 2025. So, for our first Coffee and Conversation offering of 2025, we wanted to present an opportunity to meet, connect and network with peers in the Out-of-School Time community! We all share the goal of providing access to high quality afterschool and summer programming for youth, so come ready to share and learn about all the diverse OST opportunities Denver has to offer.
The event took place at the beautiful new Blossom House Community Hub (3300 W Nevada Place, Denver, CO 80219)! Cultivated by LifeSpan Local, this hub will include early childhood education, a Denver Public Library branch, a community kitchen, youth space, community spaces and much more! There were over 50 people in attendance, representing over 20 different organizations. Below is a list of the organizations that participated.
