PUEBLO, COLO. (KOAA) — At just 15 years old, Maddock Fullard has faced more than most will in a lifetime. It’s one thread in a larger story, Colorado Youth Awareness Week, which is September 21 through 27, is a now statewide initiative that started right here in Pueblo. Created by local advocate and psychology professor Jesse Sena, the week is about more than events and proclamations. What began as Pueblo Youth Awareness Week has now grown into a statewide effort to lift youth voices and recognize the resilience and power they carry. "I’m also in drama class, something I never thought I’d do.”His story is what Colorado Youth Awareness Week is all about, not just recognizing youth, but reminding them they are not invisible.
