Partners Youth Mentoring Programs. You Can Be The Difference!

We are always in need of positive adult role-models to volunteer as mentors. Our kids are ages 7 to 17 years old with diverse interests and needs. We create partnerships based on shared interests, common values, and logistical preferences. Partners provides volunteers with training and support, as well as inclusion in a caring and active community. These are the roles we have available:

* Meet one-to-one with a student who needs extra support in the academic setting.

* These Partnerships meet an average of one hour a week for a minimum of one academic year.

Nexus Activity Volunteers

* Help out with the monthly group activities for youth who are waiting to be matched with mentors.

Singer-Songwriter Antonio Lopez, winner of the Colorado Playlist’s listener’s Album of the year and Folk/Singer Songwriter of the Year, will perform at The Old Gallery in Allenspark on Friday, August 4 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tickets are $35 and available at the door on via the website theoldgallery.org. Cash bar.

He is a Colorado native of indigenous descent. Born and raised in Alamosa and now residing in Longmont, he grew up steeped in the Chicanx culture of southern Colorado.

A regular fixture in the Colorado singer-songwriter scene, Lopez has appeared at several Songwriter in the Round events at The Old Gallery. “It’s always a delight to have Antonio take the stage here, but this is the first time he’s bringing his band with him,” said Brittni Hamilton, Operations Director of The Old Gallery.

Lopez is an accomplished guitarist and his songwriting is lyric-forward folk,

“The timing was pretty terrible but thankfully the album managed to make a good impression,” he said.

His long-time bandmates will be joining him on stage: Chad E. Mathis on bass and vocals and Christopher Write on drums and vocals.

“As a community, Allenspark is very supportive of live music, and The Old Gallery is a terrific venue. I’m honored to be performing there again,” said Lopez.

The Old Gallery is a center for community, the arts and visitors. Just a few of the services The Old Gallery provides include the twice-monthly Community Cupboard Food Bank, Community Closet, yoga and wellness classes, tourist information and providing a home to 28+ local and regional artists to display and sell their creations. The Old Gallery is also home to the Rocky Mountain Nature Conservancy Store between Memorial Day and mid-October. It’s located at 14863 Hwy. 7 in Allenspark, just 20 minutes from Estes Park and Lyons.
