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.

Happy 150th, Colorado! 🏔️ On August 1, 1876, Colorado became the 38th state, earning its nickname, the Centennial State. A century and a half later, we're proud to call it home. Here's to the mountains, the communities, and everyone who makes this state what it is. Cheers to 150 years! 🎉
