At Denver Kids, we believe that strong, supportive relationships have the power to help every student reach their full potential and graduate high school. It's been the heart of our mission and the springboard of our strong outcomes since 1946. Last years, Denver Kids worked with 946 Denver Public Schools students and graduates, giving them a blend of academic, social-emotional, enrichment, and future planning support to unlock their full potential and achieve their dreams.
Today, students face growing uncertainty. Education funding is at risk and the ability for many to meet their basic needs is uncertain. This makes the vital support that Denver Kids provides more important than ever.
As we have since 1946, Denver Kids will do our part to address the growing needs in our community. This school-year, Denver Kids is committed to serving more that 150 additional students.
To do that, current Denver Kids Advisors will increase the number of students they are serving and we are hiring one new Denver Kids Advisor position.
Help us reach our goal to provide programming to 150 additional students! $100,000 will help us hire a new Advisor and make it possible to provide these new students with all of the wrap-around programming that they deserve!
Our success is only attainable with the support of individuals backing our program. We, the Denver Kids Board of Directors, are excited to support students during this season of giving and ask you to join us. Help us reach our goal by making a contribution today.
