Jim & Sam of Advanced Pathways on the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus
December 9, 2025
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus, which aims to help the homeless with anything from shelter for a night to job-training and long-term support including a place to live for an extended period. I was incredibly impressed by not just the expertise of the folks running the place but by how deeply they care and by how much they've thought of to help their guests/clients. For example, many homeless people have pets (especially dogs) who are very important parts of their lives. The Navigation Campus has a doggie day care and will likely have veterinary services available.
It's a very large place, a former hotel and convention center, configured to help hundreds of people in different levels of care and support.
We'll be joined by Advance Pathways, the organization contracted to operate the Navigation Campus, along with one of their clients.
I encourage you to contribute today, on Colorado Gives Day, where every dollar donated will result in more than a dollar reaching your intended non-profit: Advance Pathways | ColoradoGives.org
