Program areas at CU
Developing life-changing relationships with economically disadvantaged and at-risk urban youth by teaching character, leadership and life skills for success and offering activities that develop leadership and teamwork. Our program concentrates on five program areas - in-school, after-school, adventure, post-secondary and advanced leadership. We work to establish a multi-year bond of influence over the life of each child that provides him or her needed support. Our program impacts students in over 100 denver metro schools annually. Each year over 4,000 students learn thirteen character qualities and life skills in class, crucial traits, and receive mentoring and guidance over the course of a calendar year.
Employee assistance program: employees needing assistance meet with the chief operating officer to discuss whether they may be a candidate for receiving grant funds from this program. Recipients are selected on a case by case basis.
