Project PAVE Receives Denver Post Season to Share Grant
Denver Post Season to Share, a McCormick Foundation Fund, awarded Project PAVE $15,000 in March to support programming and activities for children ages ten and under attending Whittier K-8.
Project PAVE's full-time, bilingual counselor at Whittier, Linnette Barreto, works with children and youth who have been identified as victims, providing clinical counseling at the school. All Project PAVE school-based counselors provide individual, group, and family counseling.
"As the principal of Whittier K-8, I have seen firsthand the impact this organization has made in school communities and neighborhoods of Denver," said Jai Palmer, school principal. "I believe that their coordinated, community-based program addresses the complexity of relationship violence issues in the lives of young people and their families, while providing for the specific needs of the Whittier community."
