Join the Movement: Colorado's United Nations Association in Boulder - Serving The Rockies Region

The world's biggest challenges — climate change, inequality, hunger, injustice — aren't solved in New York boardrooms. They're solved in communities like ours. Our UNA Chapter exists to prove that the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals aren't distant global ideals — they're a practical blueprint for local action, and every Coloradan has a role to play in bringing them to life.

We're more than an advocacy group. We're a coalition of educators, organizers, students, and everyday citizens across the Front Range and beyond who believe that grassroots energy can drive real policy change. Through community education, direct advocacy, and hands-on organizing, we translate global goals into local wins — pushing for climate resilience, equity, and sustainable development right here in Colorado.

Why get involved?

Your voice reaches real decision-makers. We connect grassroots advocacy directly to policymakers at the local, state, and national level.
You'll be part of something bigger. As a chapter of the national UNA-USA network, your work here connects to a global movement of people building a more just and sustainable world.
You don't need to be an expert. Whether you're passionate about clean energy, gender equity, education, or global health, there's a place for you — no prior experience required.
Change starts local. Colorado's cities and counties are living laboratories for the SDGs. Your involvement here has ripple effects far beyond our borders.

The Sustainable Development Goals won't achieve themselves. They need people who show up, speak up, and organize. That's where you come in.

Get involved today — because global change starts with local action.
