THE JLD PARTICIPATES IN SEVERAL KEY COMMUNITY PROGRAMS IN THIS AREA BY PROVIDING FINANCIAL RESOURCES AS WELL AS VOLUNTEER PARTICIPATION. NOTABLE AMONG THESE PROGRAMS ARE THE LEAGUE'S SIGNATURE PROGRAMS, KIDS CONNECT AND READ2KIDS, AS WELL AS THE STATE'S COLLABORATION, ONE BOOK COLORADO (RETIRED IN 2021). THESE PROGRAMS FOCUS ON PROVIDING BOOK RICH ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL CHILDREN, WHILE REINFORCING THE MESSAGE THAT GETTING CHILDREN READY TO READ IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE JLD ALSO PROVIDES SIMILAR RESOURCES FOR OTHER INITIATIVES THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE GATHERING PLACE. ANOTHER OF JLD'S INITIATIVES IS L.U.V.S., LEADERS UNITED IN VOLUNTEER SERVICE. ON THIS ANNUAL DAY OF SERVICE, MEMBERS VOLUNTEER FOR A NUMBER OF LOCAL NONPROFITS TO COMPLETE PROJECTS UNITED BY A COMMON FOCUS. ALSO, THIS YEAR, OUR MEMBERS ENDORSED THE EXPANSION OF OUR IMPACT AREA TO INCLUDE WOMEN AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCING SYSTEMIC POVERTY. THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY PROGRAMS, WE PLAN TO EXPAND OUR TOUCHPOINTS WITHIN THE DENVER COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THIS INITIATIVE. THE LEAGUE'S UNPAID VOLUNTEERS DONATE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF HOURS TO ASSIST THE ORGANIZATION IN ACHIEVING THE GOALS OF ITS VARIOUS SERVICE PROGRAMS. IN THE 2021-2022 FISCAL YEAR, OUR MEMBERS DONATED MORE THAN 67,000 HOURS.
