Community First Choice (CFC) Council Meeting
The CFC Council collaborates with and advises the Department on the design and implementation of a CFC option in Colorado. The CFC Council consists primarily of individuals with disabilities, those 65 years or older, and their representatives to help ensure CFC is implemented in a way that best meets the needs of Coloradans with disabilities.
All interested stakeholders are welcome. CFC Council meetings will be held on the first Wednesday of each month from 10 a.m. - 12 p.m., through May 2023. These meetings are open to the public.

CFC Volunteer Opportunities

The Department is primarily interested in coordinating projects that involve or help with:
- Building community resources to raise awareness around CFC
- Engage new stakeholders and those who don’t traditionally participate in Department stakeholder opportunities

- Improve Department communications

- CFC Communication Toolkit
- CFC Stakeholder Engagement & EDI Initiative
- CFC Stakeholder Ideas
How to get involved
Contact Jordan Larson, the CFC volunteer coordinator, by email or by phone 303-866-3580 to communicate your interest or if you have questions. He will work with you to evaluate what project makes sense for you, or if you have ideas of your own, and how to work together to start that work.
