Interim Executive Director Steph Vigil updates us on changes at nonprofit Citizens Project and previews the organization’s upcoming community breakfast.
The Creating Community Breakfast is an annual event hosted by Citizens Project, a nonprofit organization in Colorado Springs dedicated to promoting equity, inclusion, and justice through civic engagement . This gathering serves as a platform to bring together community members, leaders, and advocates to celebrate shared values and recognize local contributions to social progress.
The event features inspirational speakers, musical performances, and the presentation of the Amy Divine Award, which honors individuals or organizations that have made significant impacts in advancing equity and inclusion in the Pikes Peak region. For instance, the 2024 award was presented to Yevgeniya Tsyganok, while the 2023 recipients included Ladyfingers Letterpress, Naomi Lopez, and Shaun Walls .
This event not only celebrates the ongoing efforts of community members but also reinforces Citizens Project's mission to inform, inspire, and engage the public in fostering a more inclusive and equitable society

Loving the Springs celebrates the best of Colorado Springs and elevates the rest.
Plug into what’s happening in the Pikes Peak region, learn about awesome people, places and happenings, and explore opportunities to make life here even better. Longtime Springs booster Carrie Simison co-hosts with local gadflies Al Brody and Dave Gardner. All three love our two springs – Colorado and Manitou, so they give them the mic in this twice-monthly podcast. Nothing’s off the table – recreation, the arts, government, business, politics – if it touches your life, they’ll talk about it. We’ll invite the movers and shakers, conspiracy theorists, NIMBYs, YIMBYs, yaysayers and naysayers to join them.
