Colorado LiftED Foundation

Colorado LiftED Foundation Colorado Dream Foundation is now Colorado LiftED Foundation. Colorado "I Have A Dream" Foundation is a long-term partner to youth.

Our mission remains the same, but our work has grown over time, including access to mental health services and expanded support through early adulthood, up to age 25. We believe that through a deep, sustained commitment to students and their families, our community can thrive, and our work together can be a key catalyst in fighting systemic oppression. We travel side-by-side with the same group of

youth and their families as they navigate education and life, offering academic, social, and emotional support as they learn, grow, and achieve their dreams. No one should take this journey alone. When we fulfill our promises, anything is possible. Since our founding in 1988, Colorado "I Have A Dream" Foundation has leveraged proven methods accounting for the whole child and giving youth equal access to the resources they need to succeed, ignite their innate potential, and attain their dreams. Colorado "I Have A Dream" Foundation removes barriers to academic success from elementary school to career through a comprehensive support model focused on four key components: Academic Development, Emotional Wellness Development, College & Career Development, and Systems Advocacy.

Full circle moments hit different. 🚒❤️ Last week, we hosted our First Responders Career Panel with crew members from Engine 20 Denver Fire Department — and it was nothing short of special. DFD Lieutenant Ashaun Drumgo joined us not just as a first responder, but as a CLF alum. Watching him come back to inspire the next generation? That's exactly what it's all about.

Our youth didn't just hear from first responders — they got to go inside and tour the fire truck, getting up close with the real tools of the trade. Moments like these spark something in young people that no classroom can replicate.

Thank you to Lieutenant Drumgo and the entire crew for giving our youth a glimpse into a future full of possibility. 🙌🔥

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Colorado LiftED, youth are at the heart of everything we do. 💚
