Thirty years ago, founder Jena Dickey of Littleton gathered 20 young people in her neighborhood and began a children's choir, Young Voices of Colorado. It has grown to include almost 200 singers from the five metro counties and has touched an additional 2,000 children through outreach in this area and around the world. On Oct. 3, the choir will celebrate with a virtual fundraising gala, although the young singers will probably not appear in person until 2021. The choir's home venue is the Newman Center at University of Denver, where a live concert will hopefully be possible. For information about the October concert and the program, see: youngvoices.org or call 303-797-7464.
