Youth Services Outreach

Thank you for partnering with the Denver Public Library’s Youth Outreach Department! We're dedicated to educating and empowering adults across Denver in order to support early childhood brain and literacy development and strengthen relationships among our youngest residents and the adults in their lives.

Through our free, research-based programs, we reach thousands of parents, caregivers, and educators each year, all working towards the shared goal of helping Denver's children flourish and succeed in school and life.

We have two options to choose from:

  • Workshops for Adults
  • Family Programs for Adults with Children ages birth to five years.

View the complete list of workshops and programs.

If you have questions or not sure which option is the best fit before applying, please send an email to YSOutreach@denverlibrary.org.
