Safe Summer Kickoff on Get Outdoors Day

Become a SSKO GO Day Volunteer!

We like to invite you to join us as a volunteer for our 2026 Safe Summer Kickoff Get Outdoors Day event.

SouthWest Denver Coalition, Denver Parks & Recreation, Councilwoman Jamie Torres, and My Outdoor Colorado are joining forces to host Safe Summer Kick-Off Get Outdoors Day (SSKO GO Day), on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Garfield Lake Park from 10 am to 3 pm.

This FREE, family-friendly event is designed to promote a safe summer, access to healthy and safe outdoor spaces, supports under-resourced communities and celebrates nature exploration. We need your active engagement to make it happen!

Each year, the Southwest Denver Coalition collaborates with our community partners to host the Safe Summer Kickoff on Get Outdoors Day. This free community event brings resources, activities, and family fun to the community while kicking off a safe and healthy summer for all.

This large-scale event is made possible solely through sponsorships, donations, and volunteer support. This year, we are facing challenges in recruiting enough volunteers to help make the event possible, and we urgently need your help.

We are currently seeking at least 50 volunteers to assist with multiple shifts throughout the day, including:

• Morning setup (Need
• Early afternoon support (High Need)
• Late afternoon support (High Need)
• Event cleanup (High Need)

Volunteers are the heart of this event! Your support helps us create a welcoming, safe, and memorable experience for thousands of community members. Volunteers may assist with setup, guiding visitors, supporting activities, distributing resources, and more.

We encourage you to invite your friends, family members, co-workers, organizations, and anyone willing to lend a hand. Every volunteer makes a difference.

Together, we can make the Safe Summer Kickoff on Get Outdoors Day unforgettable for our community.

Thank you for supporting our community and helping make this event possible.
