Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available
Policies and financial statements are available at www.guidestar.org and at www.coloradogives.org. All other governing documents, policies and financial statements are available on request.ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The Colorado Vincentian Volunteers (CVV) invites young adults between the ages of 21 and 30 to participate in a year of service with those who are poor. CVV accomplishes this mission by placing these young adult volunteers as full-time staff members in agencies that provide services, resources, education, heatlh care, housing, emergency assistance, and job training to those who are in need. The Volunteers live in an intentional faith community and participate in a structured program of reflection and discussion on social justice issues and their work experiences. Since 1995, 235 volunteers have completed the program. In 2012-2013, the volunteers served approximately 31,500 hours which saved the agencies approximatley $341,000. Testament of the CVV's program impact is best given by those volunteers whose lives have been changed by their work with those living in poverty. The following two stories are from 2012-2013 volunteers (names have been changed to protect confidentiality).Corine, a nurse at a homeless shelter wrote: Have you ever experienced any trauma in your life? This is a question I must ask each patient. After a pause of a few seconds, they usually respond with Well, what do you mean by trauma? My education as a Public Health nurse did not teach me how to respond to these questions and answers; not even my background on the streets of Skid Row in Los Angeles could have prepared me for some of the things I would hear in reply. Awful things. Life-altering events. Rape as a child; physical and emotional abuse as a child; beatings by ex-husbands, ex-boyfriends, current boyfriends; ex-wives leaving with everything; police brutality; racial discrimination; near-death beatings and robbery for a $50 bill; 30-year meth addictions; mommy dying by daddys gun; siblings dying in tragic car accidents; almost dying from exposure on the street; watching best friends die on the street. The list goes on in an endless accolade to the unconceivable reality that is daily life for my patients. I am always surprised by the answers I hear, whatever form they come in. The truthfulness I receive blows me away. Who am I to be asking this intimate, revealing question? But I am invited in and asked to share their burden of sorrow, if only for a few minutes. And for those few minutes, I can honestly hear their hearts breaking. The tiny shards hit the exam room floor. The room fills with a deep silence and then with the sound of voices on the verge of tears, voices filled with forced strength, practiced to perfection over the years I am invited to be a part of my clients sorrow and trauma; I am asked to partake. I am invited in, not as a wayward bystander but as part of the offering; I am asked to share in the burden of sorrow, if only for a short while.Ashlee assisted women and children at The Gathering Place, a day shelter. She wrote:Markie was so darned adorable, giggling and having a ball, until the other children started arriving. Then another side of Markie was shown. He started biting, scratching and kicking the staff, or throwing pieces of toys at unsuspecting heads. Every time I got near him I could feel my blood pressure rising. We had to resort to restraining him, which put a strain on all of us. It consisted of holding him on our laps while he kicked and threw his head back. He slowly learned that we would not let go until he calmed down. When his mother arrived, she had a blank detached look and showed no interaction with him, but we slowly understood why these two were so difficult. His father had been deported, and the police brought Markie and his mom to a local shelter. They made their way to us. Each time they came in I thought I was being patient, but Markie tried my patience to the brink. He slowly learned that each kick, bite, hit, hair pull, slap would land him in restraint. We held him, played with him, and learned to love him. We loved him and he smiled. Telling him, Good job, Markie, brought out his dimples like no other. Markie and I want the same thing, to be loved and supported, knowing that every step and decision there is someone there to support me, even if I make the wrong decision. I need people to hold me, to love me, just like Markie.
