About Colorado Uplift

Colorado UpLift has been building long-term, life-changing relationships with urban youth for the past 40 years. Each student in the program gains access to full-time, year-round teacher/mentors that employ a holistic approach both in and out of the classroom.  

The Need—
Transformational
Relationships

Unfortunately, many of today’s urban youth lack positive guidance, resulting in alarming dropout, teen pregnancy, and incarceration rates. That’s where UpLift comes in, with meaningful relationships, opportunities, and experiences that shape students into the young adults we know they can become.

1 in 3 young people grow up without a mentor in their lives to serve as a role model.
