About Lavida

KGNU, People's Clinic the The Family Learning Center and TGRE-Greeley have combined forces to develop special programming on the benefits of healthy choices, the barriers that put them out of reach, the people who suffer, and the people fighting to get them back, for our schools and for families of limited income.  We're working together, in a year-long collaboration to report on and engage our communities so that more people make healthy choices.

 

 

 

KGNU is independent, noncommercial community radio station for Boulder, Denver and beyond. We seek to stimulate, educate and entertain our audience, to reflect the diversity of the local and world community, and to provide a channel for individuals, groups, issues and music that have been overlooked, suppressed or under-represented by other media.

The Family Learning Center is Boulder's largest community center for families of limited income.


Our LaVida logo is thanks to webpage designer Michele Barone, who created this starburst flower motif to symbolize the vitality that is possible through healthier living.  To come up witht this design, Michele says she sought an image that would be playful, since many of the LaVida stories are about the health of children and families.  She hand-drew the original starburst flower.  Other members of the LaVida development team encouraged the use of unique colors on every page.
