Sisters of Color United for Education

A Little Bit About Us

Cultivating Promotoras and safe spaces to defend the wellness of the community mind, body and spirit.

Sisters of Color United for Education (SOCUE) is Colorado’s Oldest Promotora (community health worker) program, currently operating from a culturally responsive shared space called HEAL Denver. Founded in 1989, SOCUE’s holistic health education utilizes an original, culturally responsive curriculum of Mind, Body and Spirit to address intergenerational cycles of health disparities rooted in historical trauma and train the next generation of community leaders that break economic, cultural, health and social barriers.

Family Excursions- Hikes

This program includes four family hikes year round and two Family Picnics in Sheridan Parks during the summer to engage the community into the programs that Sheridan Inspire offers. The blue team comprised of Sheridan High School students with bilingual capabilities will collaborate with SOCUE to guide the families through the four family hikes.

SOCUE also partners with Woodbine Ecology Center and can provide guides knowledgeable to native plants and provide Native American points of view that developed a symbiotic relationship with nature. This will build the families confidence to explore the outdoors, and eventually they learn routes, and start doing it more on their own.
