Eudelia speaks English and Spanish
Joined Full Circle in 2023
Eudelia Contreras is the new Chief Executive Officer for Full Circle of Lake County, a non-profit organization that empowers community through youth development, family supports, immigrant services and resource connection. This is Eudelia’s first role as a CEO, and although one of her long-time goals, it was hard to see herself in this role because she has never seen anyone that looks like her in a leadership role in Lake County. Ms. Contreras is excited to bring new programming to Full Circle and aims to engage more youth and families that might be disconnected from local resources. Eudelia is excited to inspire young people who are also struggling with finding their place in a rural Colorado mountain town.
Eudelia was brought to this country only months after being born in Mexico. She has had to navigate the challenges of starting school where her native language was not spoken, being held back because she didn’t understand the language, in turn receiving the negative message that she wasn’t smart. Eudelia is very proud of her community work, such as being a former president of the Lake County School District Board of Directors and Director of Community at Lake County Build a Generation. Most recently, Eudelia was instrumental in organizing the members of Cooperativa Nueva Union to purchase their mobile home park for $1.6M.
Eudelia is a single mother of three daughters and enjoys bike rides, live theater, concerts, having carne asada with her family, and traveling back to her hometown of Chalchihuites Zac in Mexico where she immerses herself in her roots and heritage, taking a break from the day to day struggles brought on by the challenges she faces navigating different systems.

He/Him
Luciano speaks Spanish & English
Luciano lives for good food and the outdoors. He loves to camp. He loves to ski. He likes bonfires as well as a good rafting trip. He loves performance art and a mean cobb salad. With a rising and setting Aries, this crabby Cancer relishes on adventures. Kinda weird, but true.
Luciano comes from a big family. He is one of five, but has a cousin who is one of eleven. Never a dull moment with this one. His love for words and his passion to hear a good story over a campfire has guided him to the beautiful town of Leadville. He holds a BA in Spanish Language & Literature. With this, he has coached Poetry, has defended workers' rights, has trained students in ballet and Graham technique; and, has had lots of fun skiing.
His goal is to engage youth in all the grandeur that life offers. As long as you try, that’s all that matters.
