- Founder
Dean Yocum is one of the original founders of Solid Rock Youth Ministries, a Christian non-profit organization serving youth and families across Colorado’s Front Range. With a deep calling to bring both justice and compassion to those in crisis, Dean combines his legal expertise with decades of ministry and public service.
He holds a Juris Doctor from Mitchell Hamline School of Law and is licensed to practice in all Colorado jurisdictions and U.S. federal courts. Dean currently serves as the Managing Partner of The Yocum Group, PLLC, where his legal practice focuses on family law, youth advocacy, and civil issues impacting vulnerable and underserved populations.
Dean’s journey began with youth ministry, directing camps and outreach efforts for young people in treatment facilities and those who didn’t feel at home in traditional church environments. That early work inspired the founding of Solid Rock, which continues to offer Christ-centered support and practical legal services for families walking through difficult seasons.
On a national level, Dean served as an advisor in Washington, D.C. to June Bucy, the founder of the National Network for Runaway and Youth Services. His insights helped shape federal-level advocacy for at-risk youth. He is also an award-winning legal researcher, recognized for his paper, “A Call for a Legislative Amendment to Overcome the Transportation Barrier in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, and Other Legislative Acts That Assist Homeless Youth in Obtaining Self-Sufficiency.“
Whether in the courtroom or the community, Dean Yocum is driven by a belief that every individual deserves to be seen, heard, and equipped for a better future—one rooted in truth, dignity, and the enduring love of Christ.
