Empowering Parents. Changing Futures.

Help a Child Succeed. Empower a Family. 

Change a Future.

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their family's financial circumstances.

For more than 25 years, Parents Challenge has helped families overcome educational barriers by providing scholarships, educational grants, parent empowerment programs, mentoring, and individualized support.

Since 2000, Parents Challenge has supported more than 4,500 scholars, empowering parents to choose educational opportunities that best meet their children's needs.

This Colorado Gives Day, help us raise $20,000 to expand educational opportunities for children and families across El Paso, Teller, and Pueblo counties.

Our Impact: 2025–2026

Behind every number is a child with potential, a parent determined to make a difference, and a family working toward a brighter future.

During the 2025–2026 program year, Parents Challenge:

🎓 Supported 418 scholars and 237 low-income families across three Colorado counties.

📚 Offered 70 Parent Empowerment Sessions, equipping parents with knowledge, confidence, and tools to advocate for their children.

🕒 Provided 147 hours of learning facilitated by community experts.

❤️ Benefited from 6,200 community volunteer hours contributed by Parents Challenge parents and scholars.

🤝 Partnered with 150 community organizations, non-profits, corporations, schools, businesses, and educational institutions.

🌟 Continued a legacy of supporting more than 4,500 scholars since 2000.

Academic Excellence and Student Success

Our scholars demonstrate the difference that engaged parents, educational choice, and academic accountability can make.

📖 85.1% Reading/English Language Arts achievement, compared with 46.9% among public-school students in the reported comparison.

🔢 82% Math achievement, compared with 36.9% among public-school students.

📅 Only 1% of Parents Challenge scholars experienced chronic absenteeism, compared with 39.7% of low-income public-school students.

These results represent more than academic achievement. They reflect children gaining confidence, families overcoming barriers, and parents becoming powerful advocates for their children's futures.

Real Scholars. Remarkable Futures.

Your generosity helps turn educational opportunities into lifelong achievements.

A Decade of Support. A Lifetime of Possibilities.

For ten years, Parents Challenge walked alongside Reagan's family, providing educational assistance, encouragement, and opportunities that helped her thrive.

Today, Reagan is a proud 2026 Daniels Fund Scholar, attending Wheaton College in Illinois to pursue her dream of becoming a teacher and coach while playing basketball.

Her parents first learned about the Daniels Fund Scholarship through a Parents Challenge Parent Empowerment Session—a powerful reminder that when we empower parents, we open doors for their children.

One Opportunity. A Remarkable Journey. A Future Transformed.

When Dr. Dyvon Walker's family faced difficult times, Parents Challenge stepped in with more than financial assistance. Through mentorship, academic accountability, and encouragement, Dyvon gained the confidence and opportunities to pursue dreams that once seemed out of reach.

That foundation helped him achieve extraordinary milestones—graduating from Stanford University, conducting research at the National Institutes of Health, becoming a UCLA-trained physician, and pursuing advanced medical training at Cleveland Clinic.

Reflecting on his journey, Dr. Walker shared:

“Parents Challenge gave my family an opportunity when we needed it most. Their support didn’t just change my education—it changed my future.”

❤️ Your Gift Can Create the Next Success Story
