Building Allyship and Diversity
Jefferson County Open Space is part of the Building Allyship and Diversity in Jeffco Program. Participating organizations’ staff and volunteers receive training in building affirming environments for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC and multiracial youth. Upon completion they will receive a badge signifying that they are prepared to work with and support LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and multiracial youth as an ally. “Out for Safe Spaces” is based on the successful “Out for Safe Schools” initiative, both of which are run by the LA LGBT Center, with whom we are partnering on this project. The Out for safe Spaces program works in accompaniment with our youth educational programs, which we provide out in our parks and within our indoor facilities.
