Partnership Opportunities: Community Planning, Research & Development:

The Community PR&D Committee is the forward thinking arm of the JLD Community Council. This group of dedicated women locate, research, investigate and develop new community project sites in which to place trained JLD volunteers at community organizations throughout Metro Denver for the coming year.

The JLD places trained volunteers and channels financial support to community agencies in the focus area of heath and education of women and children. Through research and evaluation, we qualify critical needs facing our community and collaborate with nonprofit agencies to develop and/or implement programs that respond to those needs.

They develop and handle all program transitions and work with each new program partner to develop a business plan to ensure program success in the inaugural year. 

We are currently accepting letters of inquiry for future partnerships. if you are interested in having your partnership considered for the upcoming year, please email communityrd@jld.org no later than October 31 for more details. Information received after  that date will be considered for the future.
