From the Rocky Mountain News:
Sandy Douglas
The 24-year Cole neighborhood resident helped found its neighborhood association in 1999 and was integral in getting the Environmental Protection Agency to clean up contamination caused by old smelting plants in the Cole, Clayton and Elyria Swansea neighborhoods under the Superfund program.
Douglas was instrumental in launching the Central Denver Community Court and in developing the concept of restorative justice for youth offenders. For the duration of the court's existence, from 2003 to 2007, she managed the Youth Opportunity and Community Advocacy programs. Douglas also operates the Youth Development Partnership, a mentoring and leadership program, out of her home.
Douglas is also the outreach coordinator for the Denver Art Museum, connecting with underserved communities.
Congrats, Sandy, and thank you for all your hard work on behalf of North East Denver, and Cole.
