| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | TO PROVIDE EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND VOLUNTEER SERVICES RELATED TO THE GREENWAY. IN 2021, THROUGH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAM CALLED SPARK. INSPIRE. EMBRACE., WE FACILITATED PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FOR 938 YOUTH IN THE NORTHEAST METRO DENVER AREA. OF THE PROGRAMS OFFERED TO THOSE 938 YOUTH, 96% OF PROGRAMS WERE AT NO COST TO THE SCHOOLS OR ORGANIZATIONS, THANKS TO THE GENERATIONWILD GRANT FROM GREAT OUTDOORS COLORADO. ALL SPARK. INSPIRE. EMBRACE. PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES ARE DESIGNED TO BUILD PATHWAYS FOR YOUTH FROM HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES TO LEARN FROM AND EXPLORE NATURE-THE GOAL OF OUR SPARK. INSPIRE. EMBRACE. PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES ARE TO EMPOWER YOUTH TO DEVELOP UNIQUE CONNECTIONS WITH NATURE, ESTABLISH A KEEN UNDERSTANDING OF THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE ENVIRONMENT, AND ULTIMATELY INSPIRE THEM TO BE THE NEXT GENERATION OF INCLUSIVE AND DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS. SAND CREEK'S EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FOCUSED ON YOUTH AGES 5 TO 18. WE BELIEVE IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO CREATE A CONNECTION WITH NATURE OR TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THAT CONNECTION. IN LATE 2021 WE EXPANDED SPARK. INSPIRE. EMBRACE. TO LEARNERS OF ALL AGES, THANKS TO VARIOUS FUNDING PARTNERS. THIS EXPANSION ALLOWED US TO FACILITATE THREE ADULT BIRDING PROGRAMS ON THE SAND CREEK GREENWAY. THESE PROGRAMS PARTNERED WITH BIRDING WITHOUT BARRIERS AND WERE CREATED TO ENABLE FOLKS EXPERIENCING MOBILITY CHALLENGES TO SAFELY AND COMFORTABLY RECREATE IN NATURE. BY THE END OF 2021, WE WELCOMED 34 NEW ADULT LEARNERS INTO SAND CREEK'S SPARK. INSPIRE. EMBRACE. PROGRAM. THE SAND CREEK REGIONAL GREENWAY PARTNERSHIP HOSTS VOLUNTEER WORKDAYS ON THE FIRST OR SECOND SATURDAY BETWEEN APRIL TO NOVEMBER. THESE VOLUNTEER WORKDAYS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND FOLKS AGES FIVE AND UP. WORKDAYS TAKE PLACE ALONG DIFFERENT PORTIONS OF THE TRAIL. THEY ARE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR CITY PARTNERS (DENVER PARKS AND RECREATION, CITY OF AURORA PARKS AND OPEN SPACE, AND COMMERCE CITY PARKS AND RECREATION). WE PARTNER WITH SCHOOLS, NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATIONS, YOUTH GROUPS, AND OTHER COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO CREATE PRIVATE VOLUNTEER EVENTS ALONG THE GREENWAY. VOLUNTEER PROJECTS NOT RELATED TO TRAIL CONSTRUCTION INCLUDE TREE WRAPPING, WEED REMOVAL, NATIVE SEED SPREADING, TREE, SHRUB, AND FORB PLANTING, COLLECTING MACROINVERTEBRATES, REMOVING LITTER, MONITORING POLLINATOR GARDENS, AND MANY OTHER TASKS RELATED TO THE RESTORATION, PRESERVATION, AND ENHANCEMENT OF THE GREENWAY, AND CREEK. EARLY IN 2021, COVID-19 IMPACTED OUR ABILITY TO HOST VOLUNTEER EVENTS FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN 2021, WE HOSTED 17 VOLUNTEER EVENTS WITH 187 PARTICIPANTS. 26% OF VOLUNTEER PARTICIPANTS WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5 TO 18. DURING 2021 SAND CREEK VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 437.5 HOURS OF SERVICE TO THE SAND CREEK REGIONAL GREENWAY- A VOLUNTEER VALUE OF 12,486.25. |

DENVER BROKE GROUND ON THE LONG- ANTICIPATED REPAVING PROJECT IN 2021. WE SUPPORTED DENVER DURING ITS TRAIL RECONSTRUCTION BY DEDICATING TIME TO COMMUNICATING WITH THE PUBLIC ABOUT CLOSURES, LENGTH OF DETOURS, PROJECT TIMELINES, AND OTHER PRIORITIES RELATED TO THE TRAIL PROJECT. DURING THE YEAR, WE FACILITATE VOLUNTEER PROJECTS THAT ARE MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TRAIL.
