#YourVoiceMattersColorado

MISSION: Nurture community dialogue, to foster new relationships and inspire action for positive, permanent, change across Colorado.

WHAT: At the Table Colorado is volunteer driven, grassroots conversation, empowering people to create the change they wish to see, in their neighborhoods and communities. These free, small group, discussions, provide an opportunity to share our accomplishments as well as the challenges we face, while aiming to inspire new ways to work together to make communities stronger and more dynamic.

WHO: Everyone is welcome; ATTC is an inclusive, ethnically diverse, multigenerational conversation that reaches all socioeconomic levels. Any Colorado resident can sign up to Host a conversation and there are conversations that residents can sign up to attend. The Host chooses the topic for the discussion.

WHERE: Conversations can take place anywhere – at a private residence, local restaurant, colleges, businesses, libraries, churches, rec centers, museums, parks, schools, non-profits, synagogues, public buildings, art galleries, homeless shelters, media outlets, mosques, senior centers, universities, hospitals or other community location over coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. It is entirely up to the Host to decide where, when and how the conversation takes place.

WHY: Change is only possible when community residents and organizations partner to create positive, sustainable solutions. At the Table Colorado connects individuals and communities of diverse perspectives and backgrounds to do just that.

WHEN: At the Table Colorado conversations take place throughout the year. Check our website for updates.
