At Colorado Learning Connections (CLC) we help create life-changing opportunities through education for students who struggle at school in our Summit County mountain community. Through individualized tutoring and group enrichment we assist with education for grades K-12, enabling youth to become mathematicians, scientists, engineers, researchers, historians, writers, inventors, doctors, lawyers or whatever they dream to be.
Most of the students we serve come from underserved populations with economic limitations which prevent them from obtaining personalized tutoring services. CLC is dedicated to bridging the gap between needs and capabilities by providing tutoring for all, regardless of the ability to pay. We request your help to support our mission to ‘pay it forward’ by providing tutoring at low or no charge through a donation to CLC.

My son is much more confident as a result and feels more safe and comfortable learning.” Special education and scholarship parent

“My student wanted to go to school, wanted to read aloud and was no longer suicidal.” Scholarship Parent
“So many things improved but the greatest one was his drive. He started to be proud of learning to read, he wanted to share his successes, read on his own and had so much ownership in it. He also learned that school was cool as he loved his tutor and couldn't wait to dive into the work. Since starting at CLC his reading level went up significantly.” - Special Education Parent
“CLC is a fun place for my daughter to go to get 1 on 1 learning. With consistent tutors and staff she is able to make a connection where she wants to come back each week.” Special Education Parent
Colorado Learning Connections' mission is to inspire, guide, and empower students and families through individualized learning and responsive mentoring.
Colorado Learning Connections (CLC) operates in Summit County, CO as the area's only independent education center, providing tutoring, test prep, college consulting, and group enrichment services throughout Summit County. CLC manages multiple programs to support our greater community, especially students with limited financial capabilities and special needs, such as, Our Opening Opportunities Scholarship Program (OOSP), Club Limitless with Project Thrive, Tutoring, workshops and study groups. These programs reach approximately 250+ students a year. Whether our own independent programs or being contracted by a local school system, CLC works to promote and support educational excellence in as many ways as possible.
In 2017, CLC obtained formal nonprofit status, allowing us to utilize charitable donations to fund support for students of families with limited ability to pay. Prior to that, CLC operated for over a decade as a for-profit academic tutoring organization. By becoming a nonprofit, CLC was able to expand educational support to historically underserved populations, including students from low-income or low socio-economic-status (SES) families, minority students, and those students who identify as English Language Learning (ELL).
