Hello DSST! 

Giving & Cheer Day 6 Core Value: Courage

Hey DSST, my name is Alex and I am the 2019 Core Value winner for Courage. I worked in child welfare for almost nine years before I joined the DSST: Cole community. While child welfare is an extremely challenging system, I still hold it close to my heart. I believe that Denver Human Services’ #BeAGiver organization is emblematic of the Core Value of Courage because the child welfare system often receives negative media attention and severe critiques and is rarely recognized for their positive outcomes and success stories as they continue to do their best for their clients.
