Our Purpose
At Athletics & Beyond (A&B), we empower Denver’s student-athletes to excel in school, in life, and beyond the playing field.
We are Denver’s only student-athlete development hub that pairs athletic engagement with academic achievement and career readiness.
By combining tutoring, college and career exploration, financial literacy, and workforce development with athletic training and community wellbeing, we help student-athletes and their families gain the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive long after the final whistle.
Since our founding, Athletics & Beyond has served hundreds of students and families in the Montbello community, building a legacy of educational achievement, physical health, and leadership.
Why Athletics & Beyond Matters
Across Denver, especially the Montbello community, student-athletes and their families face systemic challenges that limit opportunity and health equity. A&B bridges the gap between athletic potential and lifelong success by ensuring students are supported in the classroom, in their personal growth, and in their physical wellbeing.
-
Education & Career Readiness: Fewer than 2% of NCAA student-athletes go on to play professionally, yet 70% of high school athletes believe they will earn athletic scholarships. Without academic and career guidance, many lose direction once their sports eligibility ends.
-
Health & Wellness: Nearly one in five Montbello residents live below the poverty line and face barriers like limited English proficiency, food insecurity, and inadequate recreational opportunities. These conditions drive higher rates of chronic disease and restrict physical activity.
At A&B, we turn these challenges into opportunities. We connect students to academic tutors, college visits, and workforce pathways while ensuring families have access to affordable fitness, nutrition, and wellness programs. Together, we strengthen both the mind and the body, building a community of resilience, health, and success.
