Lincoln Hills Cares

Outdoor education and recreation highlights - our outdoor education team engaged with over 1,600 youth and family members across 76 events, collaborating with more than 30 community partners. We are expanding our community-based initiatives, reaching 638 youth in afterschool programs in the metro denver area, in collaboration with various partners, including denver public schools. The nizhoni equestrian experience thrived, welcoming 6 girls over 7 weeks in partnership with windy creek ranch.

Career pathways highlights: this year, the Lincoln Hills Cares pathways program directly provided education, empowerment, and employment opportunities for 53 youth. These young individuals actively participated in a watershed restoration program with the cottonwood institute, gaining hands-on experience through camping, working, and learning about our headwaters state. Operating well over 150 projects involving youth employees and partners, the Lincoln Hills Cares pathways program showcased a diverse range of impactful initiatives. The pathways work experience remained enhanced through collaborations with community partners, actively engaging with over 50 partners on an annual basis. Remarkable partnerships involved initiatives with mo betta green marketplace and community collaborators in northeast denver, along with collaborations with culture and d3 arts and other community partners in southwest denver.
