About CYC
Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) connects youth with opportunities to get back into school and also creates pathways, alongside caring adults, to build confidence and find success in school and beyond. We believe all young people can rise above obstacles and barriers to learn and succeed.
“In the beginning, I didn’t expect myself to graduate…I didn’t expect myself to be truly happy with the way life has been treating me.
But here I am, graduating from high school and in college. I truly feel blessed that I have both of my parents by my side to make sure I get what I need, when I need it.
I am officially becoming a responsible adult. I stumble, I fall, I rise, and I strive, all so that I can see better days.”
In partnership with school districts across Colorado, we are pleased to provide a continuum of programming for children and youth, spanning from age 3 all the way through age 21.
