2012 RFL Class Projects

1) Valley Life for All Website – Provide opportunities for people with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives and become respected and contributing members of our community by connecting the resources we already have in the Roaring Fork Valley (Aspen to Parachute) and communicating these through the www.valleylifeforall.org website.

2) Groundwork Colorado - Groundwork Colorado needs a team to implement Take Charge! in Carbondale, Aspen, and Glenwood Springs. Project leaders will learn and use our program model that we’ve already implemented in 24 communities. The project focuses on energy conservation and natural resource development, by engaging youth and community members to Take Charge!

 3) 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival - Operation Community Engagement – The Aspen Institute seeks to enlist the leadership of the RFL Class of 2012 to research, design, and execute two community events (“block parties” in Aspen and Basalt) in conjunction with the 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival (June 27 – July 3) with the overall goal of increasing the community’s engagement with and exposure to the 2012 Ideas Festival.

 4) Aspen’s Biggest Block Party - “Aspen’s Biggest Block Party” would be an event that attracts families and children to several fun activities using dance, make-believe, construction, and language, to a park/street in Aspen that focuses on brain development and how easy, regular playtime activities builds strong brains and a healthy community.
