About DAYS
Supporting Children, Youth & Families Across Denver for Over 40 Years
DAYS began as part of a city-wide initiative to address critical challenges facing children, youth, and families in Denver—including juvenile justice involvement, child abuse and neglect, teen pregnancy, and foster care.
Today, while the needs of our community have evolved, our mission remains the same: to provide responsive, impactful support for children, youth, and families.
Over the past decade, DAYS has prioritized behavioral and mental health services, recognizing their central role in promoting family wellness, community safety, and long-term resilience. We now focus on helping young people and their families build strong emotional foundations, improve communication, and engage in healthier, more connected lives.
Our work supports:
Families seeking guidance and support
Human services agencies coordinating care
Schools looking for behavioral health partnerships
Mental health professionals in need of trusted community resources
Together, we are creating safer, healthier, and more supportive environments for the next generation.
Make a Donation.
A $100 donation fuels a week of healing.
Your gift covers a full tank of gas—enough to provide a week of transportation for children traveling to and from therapy.
Reliable access to services can be life-changing. With your support, we can ensure that no child misses the care they need simply because they can't get there.
Help drive change—one ride at a time.
Denver Area Youth Services is a 501(c)(3) organization registered in the state of Colorado. Donations are tax-deductible.
