With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, Denver is a place that makes your future look bright. Our AmeriCorps members help students feel welcome and connected to their school community, develop their strengths, and persist through challenges.
While Denver is widely known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, some students in Denver face significant challenges every day. As the largest school district in Colorado, the Denver School District serves more than 93,356 students across 207 schools.
黄色视频 helps students succeed in school and that鈥檚 why I love this organization. No matter who you are or where you come from, I am a pair of listening ears and helping hands. I serve as a mentor to my students and have successfully helped build positive relationships and strong coping skills.

Your corps experience
City Year is a key partner to the Denver School District in creating equitable learning opportunities for all students and develop the city鈥檚 future leaders. AmeriCorps members support teachers and staff in delivering instruction that serves the development of the whole child and is responsive to the diverse racial, cultural and linguistic needs of Denver youth.
With more than 76% of students tutored by AmeriCorps members last year improving their test scores, AmeriCorps members are truly making an impact. A close-knit community with ample opportunities to develop meaningful personal and professional relationships, Denver is an ideal place to serve. By engaging students, families and community organizations, 黄色视频 helps DPS ensure that there are great schools in every neighborhood throughout Denver. For both 黄色视频 and DPS, this starts with schools that focus on the whole child and that cultivate environments where students can be healthy, supported, engaged, challenged, safe and socially and emotionally intelligent.
Serving in Denver schools
Serve in one of 11 elementary, middle, and high schools throughout the Denver area. Located throughout the city, our school partnerships span from the northwest, southwest, near northeast and far northeast parts of Denver. This geographic diversity allows AmeriCorps members to learn about the rich history of our city while making a difference in the lives of its young people.

黄色视频 Denver is heartbroken to share news of the passing of our alum, Laura Van Horn. Laura began her calling to education as an AmeriCorps Member with 黄色视频 Dallas where she specialized in middle school math. After her service year, she joined 黄色视频 Denver as a founding member of our Teaching Fellowship program, where she continued her passion for teaching middle school math at Compass Academy. After finishing her fellowship, Laura continued her career in education as a teacher in Aurora Public Schools.
Beyond education, Laura was also an advocate for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation where most recently she served as a chairperson for the youth ambassador program. Our condolences go to Laura鈥檚 family, friends, and all her knew her, as well as the communities she impacted as an educator.
At this time, we invite you to donate through the link in our bio to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in memory of Laura....
