Hi Friends -

I first volunteered for Mile High 360 about 9 years ago while at the University of Denver and have recently been reintroduced. I am raising money for the organization and playing in a squash tournament October 20-22 in Denver if you're around to come watch! 

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 for students and their families.

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. 

1. Academic Assistance: Study skills support, tutoring, literacy enrichment, SAT prep, college visits, and an array of college preparation support;
2. Health & Wellness Programs: Mental health support, drug and alcohol prevention, human development classes, cycling coaching, and nutritional instruction; and
3. Life Skills Experiences: Community service, a mentor program, summer travel, a speaker series, financial health classes, internships, resume building, and job support.
4. Mentoring: student and adult members spend an average of 40 hours per year together, exploring all that Denver has to offer, while learning about each other. These relationships offer each another perspective on the world we live in. 

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 providing and organizing local and regional resources to address 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! 

Thank you!

Lauren
