Register a group for the Youth
Track program
HERE!
The Youth Track is a one-day program for middle
and high school age youth from the seven county Western
Slope of Colorado. Your students will benefit from the
relationship building and educational experiences with
other students their own age, facilitators, and grant
makers at this exceptional one-day program. Teamwork,
critical thinking and one-of-a-kind moments will make
this event impactful and fun for participating youth.
Engaging our youth…
Our goals are to engage youth in problem
solving activities regarding issues in their own
communities. This is not only an opportunity for youth
to take a closer look at their own communities and learn
to develop solutions, but it is also an opportunity to
partner with a willing audience to find sustainable
solutions and actually make a change.
A hands-on, educational adventure…
Kids will work in groups to create a skit and,
then, perform at the end of the day to a unique audience
of nonprofit organizations, grant makers and funders.
This is a wonderful opportunity to request funding for
individual projects.
