About Us: Convivir supports youth as they find power in their migrant experience and use it to enrich themselves and their Colorado communities. We focus specifically on 6th through 12th grade immigrant, refugee, and first gen youth from any nationality and with any immigration status ranging from undocumented to naturalized. By leveraging the power of storytelling and art, we advance youth’s confidence and agency while building community and fighting xenophobia. Our holistic and long-term support addresses the unique intersection of youth development, educational equity, immigrant rights, and mental health.

About our Summer Program: Our annual summer program is our signature learning experience! Immigrant educators designed the curriculum to address the impact of migration on identity, policy, and mainstream media. Additionally, the program is intended to help youth build meaningful friendships with peers from diverse immigrant backgrounds across metro Denver to build a strong community support system. Not to mention it’s a fun, safe, and unique experience to fill their summer! ‍

‍About the Role: Facilitators who are personally impacted by migration and who represent the diverse experiences and backgrounds our youth may bring, are critical to the experience. Plus, we aim to maintain a small adult-to-youth ratio in order to encourage meaningful connections and allow us the capacity to truly support youth’s healing process.
