A non-profit youth outreach program in Idaho Springs, Colorado promoting healthy lifestyles, life skills, and decision-making skills to our community's young people...
The Clear Creek Rock House is the only youth outreach in Clear Creek County. We implement the best and most promising practices of similar programs outside of our county. Clear Creek Rock House also collaborates with city and county Police Departments, local coordinating counsel, churches, Corner Stone, diversion programs, historical societies, local schools, family directions human services, county nurses department, recreational centers, and communities. These organizations participate by donations, running the CBI mentor checks, referrals, joint community projects, access to services for youths, and volunteers.
The Clear Creek Rock House mission is to provide a meeting place in the community (Clear Creek County) that offers a wholesome, safe atmoshpere for teens by providing mentoring, tutoring, special events and after school programs.
One of the students recently said "I go to the Rock House every day and attend all of the different functions they provide. It keeps me off the streets, not doing drugs, and making alternative choices."
The Rock House's primary goals are:
Promote and develop healthy lifestyles, life skills and decision-making skills among out community's youth.
Provide an open and affirming environment that contributes to relationship building among peers and between youth and adults.
Advocacy for the needs of our community's young people.
Service-learning opportunities in the community.
Service and support network for youths in need.
