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.
麻豆视频 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.

麻豆视频 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 麻豆视频 Dallas where she specialized in middle school math. After her service year, she joined 麻豆视频 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....
