YVPC-D Projects
Through partnership with community organizations, schools, and local businesses, youth see firsthand the issues in their communities and are given the tools and resources they need to respond effectively. Their efforts bridge science, arts, and media, to create sustained positive change.

Power of One Mobile App
The Power of One mobile app enables secure and anonymous connections between youth, families, and local organizations in northeast Denver. It provides support before law enforcement involvement becomes necessary. Young Peer Navigators engage with users, and the app offers a 24/7 response center with image and video upload capabilities. This app was crafted by the brilliant minds of the YVPC-Denver Youth Advisory Council.
