COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
INTEGRATED COMMUNITY
The mission is to proactively promote and support successful integration of immigrant and local community members in Northwest Colorado through education, intercultural exchange, and collaboration to build a more united community where its members can communicate, participate and contribute.
The goal is to strengthen our community through building respectful relationships between immigrant and local neighbors. They strive to create awareness of different cultures within our community and through our programs we break down the linguistic and systemic barriers that prevent our constituents from accessing services and resources in our community.
LIFT UP
Founded upon the Judeo-Christian commitment of ministry to those in need, LiftUp has a vision for everyone to thrive where they live. Income inequality is a leading indicator of financial stresses on a community. Steamboat Springs has been ranked #2 in the state of Colorado for income inequality. 94 cents of every donated dollar goes directly to those in need.
LiftUp provides charitable assistance, without discrimination, to meet basic human needs, while fostering self-sufficiency.
Since the founding of Sk8 Church, by Buck and Tara Chavarria in 2005, the vision to meet people where they are at has not changed. We believe that meeting physical needs as well as spiritual needs is required to see lives changed. Through the many programs we offer we have become a resource able to meet the diverse needs of this community. Yampa Valley faces an on-going battle with drug abuse, suicide, and depression among our youth. Sk8 Church is a safe and sober environment for anyone regardless of background, religion, race, or gender. We exist to be a place where people can come find help, love, and life no matter what they are walking through.
Wherever you’re at, whatever you’re going through, Sk8 Church is a place to find hope. As a faith based non-profit, we believe true hope, true life, and true love are found only in Jesus Christ. Every staff member has experienced this hope, life, and love, and we would be happy to share our story with you anytime.
Sk8 Church is the only indoor skatepark in all of Yampa Valley. We offer a free skatepark Monday-Friday from 2-6pm and Friday nights from 6-10pm. Check out our programs to find more times we are open to come skate, eat, and make yourself at home.
