Bri Quintana wanted to become a mentor for youth after losing her cousin to gun violence. Her cousin had someone like that before he died — someone to count on through all the court dates and other systemic hurdles. “Being able to help youth, it makes it come full circle,” she said. Quintana now serves as a school and community mentor for Fully Liberated Youth, a Denver nonprofit that provides interventions for teens in school or those navigating the child welfare or juvenile justice systems. Natalie Baddour co-founded the organization four years ago on the backs of grief and hope amid rising overdoses and gun violence, she said.
