Chicks with Picks promotes self reliance through learning technical skills that help women become more equal partners with their counterparts. The theme of all of our clinics is "Women Climbing with Women, for Women". We promote women's empowerment, the spirit of service, and giving back to the community through supporting local women's shelters, Tri County Resource Center and Starting Point. Over the last nine years we have raised $136,000 for the shelters. To date, we are their largest donor.
In 2003 Chicks with Picks was awarded the “Community Partners Award” by the State of Colorado and The Colorado Coalition Against Domestic Violence for our dedication to service and helping local women in need.
In 2006 Chicks was awarded the “Hometown Hero” Award from the parent organization Hilltop, who runs Tri-County Women’s Resource Center. Hilltop’s hometown heroes are people who, through either participation, volunteerism or working for one of the 25 programs of Hilltop, have made a significant difference in their own life or in lives of others.
