Bridging Gaps, Overcoming Barriers
Across Denver Public Schools, many students face challenges beyond the classroom—from limited access to resources to trauma affecting their learning.
We are committed to identifying and addressing these gaps, ensuring every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
Through strategic programs like trauma-informed practices, afterschool activities, and wraparound services, we help remove barriers and open doors to opportunity.
Strategic Solutions for Every Student’s Success
By investing in proven, innovative programs, we provide DPS students and educators with the resources they need to excel. From funding afterschool programs and sports to supporting career pathways and college success initiatives, our efforts help ensure that every student has access to the opportunities they deserve. Our focus is on creating a sustainable impact that supports students both inside and outside the classroom
