Give Teens and Families a Path Forward
"We support TAFS because it meets teens and families at a critical moment and surrounds them with the care, connection, and structure they need to heal. The results are real — young people gain confidence, families grow stronger, and futures begin to open again."
Reasons To Give
Your donation helps teens and families access the full TAFS experience — from clinical care and peer connection to adventure learning and pro-social opportunities that build confidence, trust, and hope.
Donors may support annual experiences such as the Colorado Summer Trip or Foster Care Saturday and Summer Camps. Or give to the TAFS Access & Stability Fund, specifically the Sunnyside school-based program, which would directly sustain life-skills development (programming essential for youth to engage in this work) and recovery support services for students who otherwise would not have access to these stabilizing services.
Supporting these TAFS opportunities provides funding where we need it most to keep responding to our teens and families with flexibility and impact.
“I appreciate the fact that my family relationships are better now. I also have learned to be open and honest with others.” – Anna M.

Foundation Grants
Grant support help TAFS provide accessible mental and behavioral health and recovery services for teens and families. Invest to help youth build the essential skills, support, and confidence they need to launch into adulthood.
Invest in Care That Moves Teens Forward and Heals Families
Foundation grants help TAFS sustain and expand the care adolescents and families need to heal, succeed, and thrive. Your support can strengthen general operations, bring school-based behavioral health services to students in Sunnyside, and provide trusted mental health and recovery support for youth in foster care settings.
Together, we can help more young people build stability, confidence, and a stronger path into healthy adulthood. Help us heal more families.
