Today, we have an article from United Way of Larimer County and our region’s school district leaders.

They say COVID has affected school attendance, academic progress, and social-emotional growth in Larimer County youth. 

There has been a 200% increase in referrals to prevention education and a 50% decrease in volunteer inquiries.

They say Colorado 2-1-1 is a fast and easy way to connect with available resources for those who need them.

Also, Positive adult role models are needed. Visit NOCOVolunteers to find out how you can make a difference.
