Colorado UpLift
Posted by Joshua Sharf in Denver, Education on October 3rd, 2010
Kathy Emmons, an erstwhile campaign volunteer, but also a volunteer for a terrific organization, Colorado Uplift. It started out as a way to find jobs for inner-city youths, but they quickly saw that the kids were bringing all the bad habits of their young lifetimes to these jobs, and thus weren’t doing themselves or their employers any good, and certainly weren’t enhancing the reputation of the program. So they decided instead to mentor the kids in-school and after-school in character traits and life skills for their success.
This is exactly the kind of program that’s worthy of your support; give it a look.
