I Have a Dream Foundation

People's Clinic Outreach provided information to the 12 Americorps volunteers working with "I Have a Dream" Foundation of Boulder County. The Americorps volunteers have a two fold interest in learning about thier local community health center. During their service commitment, the volunteers themselves are eligible for primary and preventive services at the Clinic. They work with local families providing case management, tutoring and mentorship for youth enrolled in the IHAD program. Some families that participate may also be eligible for primary and preventive health care at People's Clinic. The volunteers were provided with several brochures in both English and Spanish to share with the families they work with. They were also provided with bi-lingual information about eligibility criteria and the necessary documentation for enrollment.

Outreach at King Soopers


The end of the fall and begining of winter do not offer many opportunities for outdoor outreach. Towards the end of October, we had one of the last successful outdoor activities of the season. We were stationed at the King Soopers on Arapahoe and 30'th where we were able to reach several people and raise $135.00 for the clinic in just a few short hours. The event which is supposed to repeat montly was cancelled in November and December due to cold weather and snow.
We have secured permission though, from the King Soopers central offices to place our outreach tables outside of both the 30th St and the Table Mesa supermarkets on a montly basis. King Soopers has been very kind in helping us reach the community. We hope this activity will give us exposure to the community at large and offer a an avenue to reach people who may need our services.

Thank you King Soopers!
