About

about us

The Jacob Center is a non-profit agency serving youth and families in Northern Colorado since 1988.

Founded by three social workers, The Jacob Center believes strongly that every youth is inherently resilient.

We operate our programming and tailor our interventions around this principle, seeking to empower youth and build upon their strengths and interests.

Programs place an emphasis on utilizing a trauma-informed lens and building resilience by developing a strong sense of self, regulation skills and connectedness.

The Jacob Center is a trauma-informed agency.
