“I can’t believe I’m leaving here,” Savion said as he looked at his room at the Calabrese Youth Center (CYC) for the last time. This is just a glimpse of Savion’s journey at the CYC. Savion’s story is part of our ongoing series, “Faces of Laradon,” which highlights different students, participants, staff members, donors and more within the Laradon community.

🎉 Move over Gordon Ramsay- We’re thrilled to announce the successful completion of our first cohort of chefs from our Adult Day Culinary Class! Over the past 10 weeks, participants had the chance to master cooking techniques and gain valuable customer service skills. By the end of the course, each participant earned their very own certificate, which now recognizes them as skilled cooks, ready to take on the kitchen. Congratulations to all our new Laradon chefs, your hard work and dedication have truly paid off! 👏👩🍳👨🍳 #LaradonChefs #Serving #empoweringpossibilities #TBT

Every week, one of our dedicated volunteer teams embraces the spirit of giving back to the community that supports us.    Last week, participants joined forces with Denver Community Fridges to tackle food insecurity together—it's food for the community, by the community. Outings like these provide opportunities for our adults to connect with our community, all the while working on skills they can use in the future.   🍎🥪 #Laradon #DenverCommunityFridges #Volunteering #EmpoweringPossibilities
