UpLift Summer Strong

Make This Summer a Turning Point for 400 under resourced youth.

Your support can transform a tough season into one of growth, connection, and hope.

Summer Shouldn’t Be a Slide
For Denver’s urban youth, summer often means isolation, food insecurity, and tough choices. Colorado UpLift changes that. Our students already beat the odds—95% graduate high school, far above their peers. This summer, we’re serving 400 kids with expanded experiences, but we need new funds to make it happen. You can stop the slide and spark their potential—right now.

What Your $1,000 Does

• College Visit: A day on campus to dream big and choose wisely.
