Circle of Care provides access to the Arts, Education and intergenerational cultural experiences to build a more inclusive stronger community for older adults and in turn, people of all ages in Boulder County.

Our cultural partners include The Colorado Music Festival, The Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra,CU.Pepsi Center, Met Opera, University of Colorado, Boulder Theater and much more.
In 2012 we provided over 10,000 free volunteer assisted rides to over 200 performances and accessed and distributed over $500,000 of in-kind resources.
We have won many awards for our social innovation project and this year a national best practice designation from the MetLife Foundation and Partners for Livable Communities in Washington DC. Learn more about us and get involved!
