Every student can graduate

Colorado Youth for a Change believes all students can learn, succeed in school, and rise above seemingly insurmountable obstacles to graduate.

In response to COVID-19, we’ve pivoted our approach and anticipate tripling the number of students we provide outreach to this year. Together we can support children and youth from PreK through high school, helping them chart positive paths forward through education.
