The nonprofit Great Outdoors Colorado has awarded $371,000 to the Nature Kids/Jóvenes de la Naturaleza program in Lafayette, enabling it to provide more opportunities to access nature and the outdoors.
The NKJN, with help from Lafayette, provides year-round nature exploration for underrepresented Lafayette youth and families. The additional funding will allow the NKJN to focus on family engagement, expand youth programs and to provide support to families.
NKJN will also expand its Spanish bilingual and internship programs, while continuing to help break down barriers preventing some families from program participation such as language, transportation and accessibility.
The funding is part of GOCO’s Generation Wild program which helps introduce Colorado communities to nature. More information is available at goco.org.
