TGTHR Declaration 2026

TGTHR Day April 7, 2026 In 1966, TGTHR — then known as Attention Homes — was founded in the City of Boulder by a First United Methodist Church adult bible study and Boulder community leaders with the belief that young people in crisis deserved attention, not detention. Sixty years later, that founding conviction still drives everything TGTHR does. In six decades of service, TGTHR has walked alongside thousands of young people facing homelessness, offering life-changing resources backed by a supportive community that believes every young person deserves a chance to thrive. TGTHR envisions a society that values every young person, ensuring they are supported and safe, and works each day to make that vision real through safe housing, street outreach, a youth resource center, and wrap-around supportive services that help young people move from instability to stability. TGTHR serves young people ages 12-24, meeting them where they are with food, shelter, healthcare, employment support, and trusting relationships that help young people exit homelessness permanently. TGTHR believes that housing is a fundamental right and that youth voices are critical to achieving a more just and equitable community. TGTHR celebrates young people as they grow, honors their strengths, amplifies their voices, and walks alongside them as they build thriving futures. We, the City Council of the City of Boulder, Colorado declare April 7th, 2026, marking 60 years of service to Boulder’s youth, as

TGTHR Day and we urge Boulder community members to support young people experiencing homelessness and help build a community where everyone is welcome, safe, and supported.
