Dear Friends -
I have been working as the Executive Director with Mile High 360 for a litte more than 11 years.
As we know, access to quality educational resources - from school to enrichment resources - is neither universally accessible nor equitably distributed.
The path from middle school to career and life success is filled with challenges for every student, but particularly those with the fewest resources.
This is where Mile High 360 steps in.
Mile High 360 is a comprehensive, wrap-around services program designed to provide first-generation college bound students with after-school, weekend and summer access to essential out-of-school resources in four core areas.
- Academic Assistance: Study skills support, tutoring, literacy enrichment, SAT prep, college visits, and an array of college preparation support;
- Health & Wellness Programs: Mental health support, human development classes, cycling coaching, daily snacks and dinners, and nutritional instruction;
- Life Skills Experiences: Community service, a mentor program, summer travel, a speaker series, financial health classes, internships, resume building, and job support; and
- Mentoring: students and caring adults are paired to create another positive relationship that can expand each of their world views.
In addition to those four areas, Mile High 360 provides support to the parents. Working to reduce food insecurity, Mile High 360 distributes about 6000 lbs of food per month. And, our Family Liaison engages parents through social emotional programming, cooking classes, and business classes.
Mile High 360 programming complements school-based learning by addressing a child’s social, emotional, and academic needs.
Please join me in supporting Mile High 360 Students! 100% of your contribution will be used to provide resources students need to be successful in school and beyond!
Thanks,
Eric
