Community Partners

The INVST Program works with solutionaries in our community to address the challenges facing humanity. We work locally in the Boulder/Denver region where INVST students apprentice with community organizers who engage in solving eco-social problems.

Ways we work in our community include: intervening in inequitable food, healthcare and education systems; resisting the targeting of immigrants for deportation; combating racism, both structural and interpersonal; ameliorating inequity exacerbated by climate change; addressing housing unaffordability, especially for those from minoritized social groups; and fighting environmental racism.

The INVST Program is engaging students at 91ý in eco-social transformation. Ruha Benjamin, in Imagination: A Manifesto (2024) speaks of radical imagination as a key to bringing about eco-social justice, saying, “Remember to imagine + craft the worlds you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within.” This captures the essence of collaborative, community-based work by The INVST Program!

INVST appreciates all those who share our vision of a just and sustainable world. The following organizations are just a few of our Community Partners. Our students have worked as volunteers, interns and apprentices with these partners and friends, as well as with other change makers:

  • Students participating in a team building activity in 2 lines across from each other with palms pressed against each other
  • ***
  • (Formerly OUT Boulder County)

*** Indica una organización en la que las habilidades en el idioma español serían especialmente útiles.

INVST students mayhave the opportunity to earn a stipend for their required community-based action.
