Who We Are
During the 2024 State of the City address, Mayor Mike Johnston proudly announced the launch of Give5 Mile High, an exciting citywide volunteer initiative led by First Lady of Denver, Courtney Johnston. This program empowers Denverites to come together and strengthen our community through collective service.
One High Five and One Volunteer Hour at a Time
Our Vision

Our Mission

Why Join Give5 Mile High?
In Denver, the community is the fabric that binds us together, enabling us to support each other in addressing the challenges we face. When we come together to GIVE5 hours a month, we’re not just volunteering; we’re building a stronger, more resilient community. By fostering connections, we enhance our collective well-being and ensure that every Denverite has the opportunity to thrive. Our actions, no matter how small, contribute to a culture of caring and responsibility that lifts up everyone in our city
