About Us

Beginning with rising 6th graders, MH360’s programming engages students in four key areas - Academics, Health & Wellness, Life Skills, and Mentoring. This encompasses over 3,700 programming hours for each student through age 25. Read more about us here.

Colorado Gives Day Appeal for Mile High 360

Ignite a lifelong love of learning and self-discovery.

This Colorado Gives Day, we invite you to partner with Mile High 360 to empower our students and invest in their futures. Together, we can support the success of 125+ students (grades 6–12) through five transformative projects:  

1. Digital Library - $17,000

   Help us launch a student-led digital library featuring 1,000+ books, 100+ films, and podcasts that reflect our students' culture, history, and interests. This project includes 15 iPads, noise-canceling headphones, and protective cases to give students the tools they need to explore new worlds of knowledge and creativity. 

Our goal is to ignite a love of literacy by opening up a world of ideas through books, podcasts, and films, with an emphasis on Latino authors, producers, and content creators. The library would be available for our 125+ youth ages 11-18, 99% of whom are Latinos from low-income families. This one-time investment will not only impact our current students but will also be a valuable resource for the next 5-10 years.

2. Commercial-Grade Bike Rack System - $8,000

   Fund five mobile, single-sided vertical bike racks designed to securely store 50 bikes. With added roller casters, these racks will enhance our cycling program by providing easy, flexible storage and supporting our students’ health and wellness initiatives.  

3. Podcast Setup - $3,000

   Support our students' storytelling and creative expression by funding a podcast setup. This includes an Apple iMac, professional microphones, recording software, and everything needed to produce podcasts that amplify student voices and their unique perspectives.  

4. Outdoor Education with Colorado Outward Bound School - $9,000

   Give students the opportunity to develop leadership, resilience, and teamwork through outdoor education. Your support will provide transformative experiences in the Colorado wilderness, equipping students with essential life skills.  

5. Spring College Visit Trip - $5,000

   Help students envision their futures by funding a college visit trip across Colorado. This experience allows them to explore higher education options, fostering aspirations and preparing them for life beyond high school.  

Your generosity fuels our mission to provide comprehensive programming in academics, health & wellness, life skills, and mentoring. By investing in these projects, you're creating opportunities that will shape the futures of Mile High 360 students.
