Dear Friends and Family -
As you know, I just moved to Denver and accepted the Assistant Squash Professional position. I am having a great time and meeting amazing people and groups. Heading into this holiday season, I have chose to support a local nonprofit - Mile High 360 - that was started at the Denver Athletic Club in 2008. I am playing and fundraising in the 2024 360 Summit Challenge Series because MH360 is amazing.
Access to quality educational resources - from school to enrichment resources - is neither universally accessible nor equitably distributed.
Every student, but particularly those with the fewest resources, faces challenges on the path from middle school to career and life success.
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, drug and alcohol prevention, human development classes, cycling coaching, nutritional instruction, and cooking classes;
- Life Skills Experiences: Community service, summer travel, financial health classes, internships, resume building, and job support;
- Mentoring: Trained volunteer mentors are paired with students to help normalize postsecondary enrollment, set goals, and increase students' social capital.
Mile High 360 programming complements school-based learning by mobilizing and organizing essential out-of-school-time resources to address a child's social, emotional, and academic needs. Students join as early as 6th grade and will then work within MH360's community through the age of 24. During that time, each student will participate in 3700 hours of programming.
Please join me in supporting Mile High 360 Students! 100% of your contribution will provide the resources students need to succeed in school and beyond!
Donating is easy and secure.
Thanks!
